Some further information (mostly in the CV above)

Publications (list maintained by me, includes some general narrative discussion)
Publications on Google scholar; DBLP; ORCID; ACM DL; arXiv
I am currently serving as editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation, jointly with M. Utku Ünver. We welcome submitted articles in all areas of Algorithmic Game Theory; mainly original research but we also consider also survey and expository papers. Feel free to email me if you have questions about the journal.


I’m interested in hearing from prospective research students or other collaborators.

I recently served as director of the MSc in Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer Science (MFoCS, pronounced “em-fox”) (Link). Previously I was director of the MSc in Advanced CS (Link). I supervise MSc and undergraduate projects on a range of topics, some (but not all!) of which are described further at the link above.
