My name is Saeed Seddighin. I am a postdoc at Harvard University hosted by Michael Mitzenmacher and will join TTIC as an RAP in Jan 2020. I'm interested in approximation algorithms and algorithmic game theory.

Professional experience

• Summer internship (2018), Toyota technological institute, hosted by Avrim Blum.
• Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. (Fall 2017, Spring 2018, Fall 2018)

I used to be very good at competitive programming. I won a Silver medal at IOI 2007, was a team member for IOI 2008 (didn't participate in the IOI due to visa issues), got full mark at CEOI 2008 day 1 (didn't participate in the second contest due to technical issues) and was an ACM-ICPC worldfinalist two times. Also, I was a Topcoder red and I won a CF round.
