Profile Picture of Martin Bullinger

I am a lecturer in artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol since October 2025. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Edith Elkind at the University of Oxford between September 2023 and September 2025. Before that, I obtained a PhD degree from the Technical University of Munich under the supervision of Felix Brandt. My PhD thesis is on Computing Desirable Outcomes in Coalition Formation. I also hold a master's degree in Mathematics from TU Munich.

I have a particular interest in topics related to computational social choice, algorithmic game theory, combinatorial algorithms, and computational complexity. My research covers various scenarios in multi-agent systems with a focus on coalition formation. Other topics that I study include matching markets, the emergence of segregation, understanding polarization, and voting theory. While I mostly apply algorithmic methods (like the efficient computability and computational boundaries of solution concepts), I am also intrigued by socio-scientific and philosophical paradigms.

Please get in touch if you are interested in doing a PhD with me! I am happy to supervise a broad range of topics related to my above interests. The University of Bristol, recently crowned AI University of the Year, provides an excellent research environment.
