Assistant professor at the School of Information, University of Michigan.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Yale University Computer Science Department , under the supervision of Joan Feigenbaum. From 2003 to 2005, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT .

Teaching

Fall 2008:
Aggregation and Prediction Markets ( SI679 / SI779 )

Winter 2008:
Recommender Systems (SI583) Reputation Systems (SI683)

Fall 2007:
Networked Computing: Storage, Communication and Processing (SI502)
Aggregation and Prediction Markets (SI679)

Research Interests

My current research is focused on topics in the intersection of computer science and economics that arise in the study of Internet protocols and systems. I am interested in designing and analyzing incentive mechanisms, markets, and reputation systems to enable self-interested economic entities to cooperatively solve common goals, and in studying the distributed-computation problems that arise when mechanisms have to be computed in a network. I am also interested in other problems in theoretical computer science.

Publications
