I am a Researcher at Microsoft Research, Silicon Valley (SVC). Till July 2007 I was a post-doc at the University of California at Berkeley, working with Prof. John Chuang. I was a graduate student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel, my advisor was Prof. Noam Nisan. My PhD thesis was on "Strategic Aspects of Computational Markets". I have a M.Sc. in Computer Science and a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics, both from the Hebrew University.


Research Interests: My research interests are in subjects on the border of Computer Science Theory, Game Theory, and Microeconomic Theory. In particular, I am interested in the theoretical foundations of Electronic Commerce. I work on combining techniques from the fields of Economics and Computer Science to create computationally feasible, distributed trade mechanisms.

Academic service:I am on the Program Committee of WWW 2010 and WINE 2009. I served on the Program Committees of EC 2009, IJCAI 2009, the Fourth Workshop on Ad Auctions (SSA workshop 2008), the Ninth ACM conference on Electronic Commerce (ACM EC 2008) and the Twenty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2008).


I am co-organizing The Bay Algorithmic Game Theory Symposium (BAGT).
