I’m an assistant professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell and a member of the Computer Science field. I think about new ways of doing democracy (e.g., citizens’ assemblies), and about how to fairly allocate resources (e.g., capacity to host refugees).
Before my current position, I did my undergrad at Saarland University in Germany, got my PhD in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, and did postdocs at Harvard, the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (formerly: MSRI), and UC Berkeley.
I enjoy getting to know new people and chatting about research. Whether you're a researcher, a student interested in research, a practitioner, or just curious, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
