Marie Curie Individual Fellowship is meant for excellent researchers who aim to boost their career by working abroad. This year the UT will receive two fellows with this grant.
Tom van Dijk, who also obtained his PhD at the UT, will research parity game solving algorithms. Parity games are two-player games on a mathematical graph. One of the goals of his project PIGGY is to develop reasoning about parity games into a format that is suitable for the general public, such as simple board games. Van Dijk will be supervised by professor Marieke Huisman leading the Formal Methods and Tools Group.
Russell Chan will work on his project Individualised Cognitive and Motor learning for the Elderly. Its objective is to creative management solutions for the movement wellbeing of elder adults. Chan will work under the supervision of professor Willem Verwey at the department of Cognitive Psychology and Ergonomics.
