Background
Research interests include social choice questions, using techniques from combinatorial optimization, game theory, and statistics. Specific areas of research include multiwinner elections, participatory budgeting, apportionment, liquid democracy, and fair division.
Miscellany
Wrote a viewpoint article for the EATCS bulletin, arguing that the impostor phenomenon among early-career researchers should be understood as a natural reaction to certain environments and stereotypes, and suggested concrete actions the community can take to mitigate the issue.
