I’m a postdoctoral researcher in computer science, hosted by Ariel Procaccia at Harvard University. 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 postdoc, I did my PhD in the computer science departement at Carnegie Mellon University and did my undergraduate at Saarland University in Germany.
I’m on the academic job market this Fall. I’m looking for faculty positions in North America and Europe, in computer science and operations research. If that matches where you work and you’d enjoy this research happening nearby, please reach out! My CV is here.
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, just schedule a virtual coffee chat!
Now we’re talking: Better deliberation groups through submodular optimization.
