About me
I’m a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science at at King’s College London.
Research interests: algorithms & complexity, algorithmic game theory, auctions and markets.
I’m currently focusing on computational questions arising in auctions and markets with many participants and goods. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I also co-founded Test and Contain, a project to design and implement a resource-optimal testing and containment mechanism that helps protect the health and livelihoods of those hardest hit in low to middle income countries. This work was supported by an ACM GCEC’20 grant and won a best paper award at EC’23.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Oxford University, and a Research Fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford.
