Oksana Loginova
Jacob Tukker, a double major in economics and journalism, is applying game theory to real-world sports dynamics. After taking Game Theory with Professor Oksana Loginova in Fall 2024, he explored strategic interactions in professional sports in his latest article for KCOU 88.1 FM. His piece, "How will four pro volleyball leagues interact? And more sports questions game theory can try to answer," examines how game theory concepts can help explain competition and decision-making in leagues like the NBA and pro volleyball.
