Bio

I am a fourth year Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science & Engineering department of the University of Michigan under my advisor, Prof. Michael Wellman. I expect to complete my dissertation in December 2009.

I am currently looking for a research position. For those interested, please view my job application materials.

Research statement

My research addresses the problem of practical design and evaluation of complex scenarios involving multiple self-interested autonomous agents. The goal of my work is to develop computational methodologies and techniques that enable modelers to apply game-theoretic concepts to scenarios that defy classical analysis. A full research statement is available in pdf format.

Research interests

Algorithmic & empirical game theory, Internet monetization, ad auctions, automated supply chain management, trading agent strategies, multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence, and e-commerce
