My main research has applied game theory and information economics to auctions [1,2], mechanism design [3,4,5], contests and matching [6,7,8] and voting [9,10]. These applications require an array of mathematical concepts, methods, and results from several fields such as variational and convex analysis, probability and mathematical statistics, differential geometry and combinatorial optimization. A common conceptual thread is the quest for mechanisms (i.e., “rules of the game”) that lead to desirable outcomes even if the agents (who are endowed with their own goals, resources and information) behave strategically. A major recent advance was establishing the equivalence between dominant strategy and Bayesian implementation in private values frameworks with one dimensional types [3]. The applied methods were borrowed from the mathematics of computed tomography.
