Research Overview

My research is in the general area of theoretical computer science, particularly the areas of approximation algorithms, online algorithms, and computational economics.  I work on developing models, algorithms, and markets for resource allocation, decision making, and provisioning problems. These problems arise in a variety of applications -- designing a data network, facility location and clustering, data center scheduling, allocating ad slots, scheduling ride-shares, and civic budgeting.  In these contexts, my work has addressed several research challenges pertaining to computing efficient solutions, handling uncertainty in future inputs, pricing and incentives when allocating to selfish agents, and fairness. 

My recent work has focused on two aspects:
