My research interests are in algorithm design and
analysis. Specifically,
I enjoy work in online and approximation algorithms (e.g.,
scheduling, matching, transportation, dial-a-ride, and other combinatorial
optimization) as well as in algorithmic game theory (e.g.,
social choice, inefficiency of equilibria, auction mechanisms, evolutionary
game theory).
For more details, see my publications.

you are a student looking for research projects, you can refer to my (outdated)
page of CS student research projects.
I am
a recipient of the John S. King
Excellence in Teaching Award given by the Connecticut College
Student Government Association to the faculty member who has "shown an
extraordinary commitment to students both inside and outside the
classroom." According to SGA bylaws, the award is not to be given
annually, and "should not be presented so often that it will lose its
significance."
This
semester I am teaching:
COM304 (Algorithms)
COM313 (Topics in Algorithmic Game Theory)
