I am interested in algorithmic game theory and computational social choice,
as well as other aspects of theoretical computer science and multiagent systems.

News!

Ning Chen and me are organizing a program on algorithmic game theory and computational social choice at IMS (Singapore).
Svetlana Obraztsova has won Pragnesh Jay Modi Best Student Paper award at AAMAS'12 , for our joint paper Optimal Manipulation of Voting Rules .
My book with George Chalkiadakis and Michael Wooldridge on computational aspects of cooperative game theory
has been published by Morgan & Claypool. For more details, see the book homepage.

Personal info:

I was born in the beautiful city of Tallinn (for geographically challenged, it is the capital of Estonia).
I got my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Moscow State University.
