Welcome to the NEMO group at Arizona State University

Our research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, operations research, economics, and engineering, with a specific focus on developing mathematical models for decision-making and economic analysis of large-scale networked systems. While our current emphasis lies in applications such as cloud/edge computing and smart grids, we are also interested in exploring exciting areas such as smart cities/healthcare/transportation, online food delivery, data markets, crowdsourcing, and social goods. Our overarching goals are: (1) to design models and algorithms for automated control as well as optimal operation and planning of complex systems under uncertainty (aka mathematical modeling and optimization); and (2) to build intelligent, secure, fair, and efficient multi-agent platforms and marketplaces that engage multiple users with different objectives (aka market design, game theory, and mechanism design). To fulfill these goals, we employ an arsenal of computational tools from optimization, game theory, operations research, ML/AI, microeconomics, and secure computation.
