  About me I am currently a postdoc at the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, working with Prof. MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi. My PhD thesis was on approximations in Bayesian mechanism design for multi-parameter settings. I completed my PhD work in the Computer Sciences department at UW-Madison; my advisor was Prof. Shuchi Chawla. I am mainly focused on topics within algorithmic game theory and approximation algorithms. While at UW-Madison I was involved in coaching the ICPC team.This semester (Spring '14) I am teaching CMSC 451: Design an Analysis of Algorithms in the Computer Science department at UMD.
