Hi, I am Aditi. I am currently a (Walmart) Post-Doctoral Fellow at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, hosted by Prof. Siddharth Barman. Previously, I received my PhD from IIT Gandhinagar advised by Prof. Neeldhara Misra. My research interests revolve around Computational Social Choice (Fair Division, Voting and Matching problems), Algorithmic Game Theory, and Economics and Conmputation. I enjoy working on 'hard' problems and finding some 'parameterized' or 'approximate' or a 'random' way around it.

ChatGPT aptly says:
No coin alone decides the fate, 

Nor law rigid, too cold, too straight
But in the midst, true virtue twirls,

A gentle blend of both the worlds.

[P1] Exact Maximin Shares with Adjusted Supply

Joint work with Siddharth Barman and Satyanand Rammohan (Pre-print, 2025)

In ChatGPT’s words:
When perfect shares seems unsure,

With small shifts, we find a cure.

Bend the rules, adjust the scale,

And here you go, maximin prevails.

"Create a virtual aviary of simulated geese and endow each bird with a handful of simple rules: (1) Spot a flock of geese? Follow its perceived center; (2) Get too close to a goose? Step aside; (3) Get your view blocked by another goose? Move laterally away from it; etc. Release a hundred of these critters into the (virtual) wild and watch a distributed algorithm come to life, as a flock of graceful geese migrate in perfect formation. Even trivial rules can produce self-organizing systems with patterns of behavior that look almost “intelligent.” Astonishingly, the simplest of algorithms mediate that sort of magic." -- Bernard Chazelle
