I am broadly interested in questions that stimulate the development of new algorithmic techniques, and shed insight on the power and limitations of algorithms. I have investigated such questions in a variety of domains: game theory, mechanism design, multi-agent systems, persuasion and information design, delegation and contract theory, decision making subject to online or stochastic uncertainty, and the theory of machine learning.Awards
