Research Interests

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Multiagent Systems, Game Theory, Bounded Rationality, Social Choice, Social Networks, Graph Theory

My research focus is on the interface between social networks and social choice.  In particular, I am interested in how self-interested agents with bounded rationality interact with social choice mechanisms and the emergent behaviors that result.  I am heavily involved with the organization of the Games, Agents, and Incentives Workshop.
