About

Denis Becker has joined the NTNU Business School at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in 2011 (back then the Business school was part of the Sør-Trøndelag University College). His main research interests are in decision-making under uncertainty, corporate finance, firm valuation, as well as the application of reinforcement learning to economic and financial applications.

Denis Becker obtained his Masters degree in Business Administration from the Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC), Germany. Afterwards, he has worked five years as lecturer at this university. In addition, he has taught at several other institutions like the University of Applied Science Breitenbrunn or the University of Applied Science Glauchau (Germany).

In 2006, Denis Becker joined the department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at NTNU for his doctoral studies, where he obtained his PhD in Business Management and Operations Research.
