We pr esent a price-formation model consisting of constrained mean-field games w here the price is a Lagrange multiplier for the supply vs. demand balance condition. We illustrate the model using real data of daily energy consump tion in the UK. Then we present a Fourier approximation method for the sol utions of first-order nonlocal mean-field games. We approximate the system by a simpler one that is equivalent to a convex optimization problem over a finite-dimensional subspace of continuous curves. Time permitting\, we discuss possible applications to price formation problems where prices dep end on state and time.\n \n Bio: Joao Saude received the B.Sc. in Aerospace engineering\, the M.S. in Mathematics both from IST - University of Lisbon \, Portugal\, and the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Ca rnegie Mellon University\, U.S.A.\, in 2018\, under the supervision of Pro f. Soummya Kar (CMU) and co-advised by Diogo Gomes (KAUST\, S.A.). After a period as a Research Scientist at J.P. Morgan A.I. research (NYC)\, he is now at Systems and Robotics Institute (ISR) in Lisbon.  His research focu ses on optimal control theory and mean-field games. His research interests include as well recommendation systems\, computer vision\, and explainabi lity of graph neural networks.\n DTSTART:20210212T150000Z DTEND:20210212T160000Z LOCATION:CA\, ZOOM SUMMARY:Mean-field Games Models of Price Formation URL:/cim/channels/event/mean-field-games-models-price- formation-328521 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
