Algorithms for Collective Decision Making: Voting and Coalition Formation

How can we design voting rules that represent diverse preferences fairly? When can individuals form stable and mutually beneficial coalitions? How can algorithms support cooperation in societies shaped by competing interests? This PhD project explores these questions through computational social choice and algorithmic game theory, at the interface of theoretical computer science and economics. Read more
