About Me:
I am a fifth year PhD Student at the Computer Science Department of Cornell University.
I am privileged to be advised by Joe Halpern and Rafael Pass.
My research interests lie at the intersection of computer science, economics, social science, and cognitive science.
I am interested in game theory, bounded rationality, cryptography, algorithms, social networks, and the interplay between them.
