Research and related professional activities

Research interests: My interests lie in the areas of Analysis of Algorithms, Approximation Algorithms, Game Theory, Mechanism Design and related applications. A major part of my work in the last few years has focused on questions that arise in the context of Game Theory and Economics, and concern (i) design and analysis of auctions (allocation and payment schemes, analysis of Nash equilibria), (ii) fair division (e.g. allocations of indivisible goods under fairness criteria), (iii) computation of equilibria, and other solution concepts in cooperative and noncooperative games, (iv) social choice theory (algorithmic and game-theoretic analysis of voting rules).

Apart from Algorithmic Game Theory, I am generally interested in algorithms, combinatorial optimization and discrete mathematics.
