Fangxiao WANG

Short Bio

I am a 4th-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computing at PolyU, advised by Dr. Bo Li. My research interests broadly lie in Theoretical Computer Science and Algorithmic Game Theory, with a current focus on Fair Division.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies (2018-2022) at the School of Information and Communication Engineering, UESTC, under the supervision of Prof. Gang Wang. I was awarded the First Prize in the National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling and graduated as an Outstanding Graduate of Sichuan Province.

Research Areas

Algorithmic Game Theory, Computational Economics, Multi-agent Systems, Theoretical Computer Science

Recent News

I am currently on the academic job market and open to postdoctoral opportunities.
