About Me: I am an assistant professor in the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University. My fields of specialization are Political Economy, Formal Political Theory, Social Choice and Public Economics, which all lie at the intersection between Political Science, Economics and Game Theory. I study collective decision-making problems, to understand and explain how groups of agents make decisions. I joined the Politics Department at NYU in August 2007, after graduating with a PhD in Social Sciences from the California Institute of Technology.
