News:

Welcome to my webpage.

I am a fifth year PhD candidate at the Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering at Stanford University.
My advisor is Professor Ramesh Johari, who is a member of the Operations Research group and the Information Systems Laboratory.
Currently my research interests lie at the intersection of algorithmic game theory, network theory and economic equilibrium theory.
