Research interests: 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 and mechanism design, persuasion and information design, delegation and contract theory, decision making subject to online and/or stochastic uncertainty, and most recently the theory of learning.
