I was a PhD student in Markus Brill's research group Efficient Algorithms at TU Berlin from September 2019 until March 2024.
My research interests revolve around proportionality in elections, winner determination under incomplete information, and other topics from computational social choice.
News
A paper I co-authored got published in Social Choice and Welfare: Dyanmic Proportional Rankings written together with Markus Brill.
A paper I co-authored got accepted for AAAI-24: Spatial Voting with Incomplete Voter Information written together with Aviram Imber, Markus Brill, Hadas Shachnai, and Benny Kimelfeld.
I succesfuly defended my PhD thesis with the title Algorithms for Social Choice in Dynamic Environments at TU Berlin in front of my committee consisting of Markus Brill, Jérôme Lang, Piotr Skowron, and Julia Stoyanovich.
I was invited to give a talk on Approval-Based Multiwinner Voting under Incomplete Information in Edith Elkind's research group at Oxford University.
