Personal Information

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and the University of Bremen. My research focuses on the theoretical foundations of algorithmic decision-making under incomplete information, spanning mechanism design, social choice, and online scheduling. I design algorithms and mechanisms that balance efficiency, fairness, and truthfulness. A central theme of my work is Algorithms with Predictions, where I investigate how predictive information can be incorporated into algorithmic design while preserving strong worst-case guarantees. I am completing my Ph.D. at MPI under the supervision of Kurt Mehlhorn (defense pending).
