About

Dr. Ksenia Smirnova is a systems engineer whose work bridges game theory, artificial intelligence, and strategic decision-making in complex technological ecosystems. Her research focuses on developing computational frameworks for concurrent technology roadmap planning, where she applies best-response techniques from game theory to model how competing stakeholders—from autonomous aerial vehicle developers to cloud computing providers—optimize their innovation trajectories. Her most cited paper, "A game-theoretic framework for concurrent technology roadmap planning using best-response techniques" (2018, 3 citations), introduces a novel approach to aligning multi-agent decisions in cyber-physical systems, mobile robotics, and production engineering. By formalizing roadmap planning as a strategic game, Smirnova enables organizations to anticipate and adapt to competitors' moves, reducing inefficiencies in R&D investment. Her work has implications for industries ranging from autonomous systems to manufacturing, where coordinated innovation is critical. Though early in her career, Smirnova’s contributions are gaining traction among researchers in systems analysis and AI-driven optimization, positioning her as a rising voice in the intersection of game theory and technology foresight.
