Research Interests

My research interests lie in the intersection of algorithms, game theory and artificial intelligence.
I'm especially interested in:

  • Algorithmic Game Theory, in particular the impact of selfish behavior in optimization problems
  • Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, in particular strategic behavior in multi-agent systems
  • Network Science, in particular modeling and analyzing network creation by selfish agents
  • Network Design and algorithmic problems on graphs in general
  • Game-theoretic analysis of models from Sociology (e.g. Schelling's segregation model) and Economics (e.g. the Hotelling-Downs model)
