I'm an assistant professor of computer science at Oberlin. Before joining the department, I completed my doctoral study at Northwestern University in 2017 under the supervision of Jason Hartline. My research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical computer science and mathematical economics. Specifically, I'm interested in the interplay between economic incentives and statistical learning and in obtaining theoretical performance guarantees for practical resource allocation protocols such as the first-price auction. I also co-organize the Mechanism Design for Social Good working group on inequality. I like to think about how tools from theoretical computer science, AI, and economic design can help solve problems of social import. | ||
