Janos Flesch

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Quantitative Economics at the School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University.

My research focuses on the mathematical aspects of dynamic and stochastic games with an infinite time horizon, with particular emphasis on the existence and structure of optimal strategies, equilibria, and their refinements. While my work is rooted in mathematical game theory, the models I study are connected to economic theory, computer science, and descriptive set theory. I also examine specific classes of dynamic environments under uncertainty, including search games, stopping problems, and Markov decision problems.

I teach courses in analysis and optimisation theory.
