New York. I am broadly interested in algorithm design,
specially for problems on the interface between Economics and Computation.
Currently my main interests are: dynamic mechanism design (how to design
good auctions over time for settings like internet advertisement), machine
learning in economic environments (e.g. online learning for pricing and learning
when feedback is given by strategic agents) and applications of convex
programming to market optimization.
