About
I am a fourth year PhD student at the Computer Science Department of Cornell University. I'm fortunate to be advised by Eva Tardos. I am interested in Algorithmic Game Theory, Auction Theory and Mechanism Design.
I was recently awarded a Simons Graduate Fellowship in Theoretical Computer Science.
