Associate 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

Winter 2012:
Electronic Commerce (SI652/EECS547)
Recommender Systems (SI583)
Reputation Systems (SI683)
Fall 2011:
Practical Engagement Workshop: Content Management Systems (SI631)
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. Right now, my two most active research projects are on:

Computational and Strategic Foundations of Prediction Markets
Manipulation-Resistant Recommender Systems.

Publications

Professional Service
Upcoming conferences I'm involved in:

Program Committee member for ACM EC 2011
Program Committee member for The Second Conference on Auctions, Market Mechanisms and their Applications (AMMA 2011)
