Jacek Krawczyk is an Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney, part of the Faculty of Science. He earned his PhD and MSc from Warsaw University of Technology. His academic career includes serving as a Reader at the School of Economics and Finance, Victoria University of Wellington, and as an Adjunct Academic at Flinders University School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics from 1997 to 2010. In 2014, he was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Sydney, hosted by B. Goldys and M. Rutkowski. Krawczyk belongs to the Applied Mathematics group and maintains an active research profile focused on viability theory, dynamic games, numerical methods for coupled-constraint Nash equilibria, and stochastic optimal control problems. His work applies these tools to environmental economics, monetary policy, resource management, sustainable development, and biological systems such as modeling atherosclerotic plaque thickness and statin medication effects.
Krawczyk has authored numerous publications, including highly cited papers such as 'A modified genetic algorithm for optimal control problems' (1992, with Z. Michalewicz and C.Z. Janikow), 'Numerical solutions to Nash-Cournot equilibria in coupled constraint electricity markets' (2004, with J. Contreras and M. Klusch), 'Games and dynamic games' (2012, with A. Haurie and G. Zaccour), and 'Relaxation algorithms to find Nash equilibria with economic applications' (2000, with S. Uryasev). Recent contributions include 'A Qualitative Game of Interest Rate Adjustments with a Nuisance Agent' (2022, with V.P. Petkov), 'Public policy, systemic resilience and viability theory' (2021, with G. Karacaoglu), 'Management of High-Risk Atherosclerotic Patients by Statins May Be Supported by Logistic Model of Intima-Media Thickening' (2021, with D. Formanowicz et al.), and the book 'Intergenerational Wellbeing and Public Policy' (2019). He has developed MATLAB packages like InfSOCSol2 for stochastic optimal control approximations and NIRA-3 for Nash equilibria in infinite games. His research has accumulated over 2,000 citations on ResearchGate, influencing computational economics and policy analysis for sustainability and resilience.
