I am a Senior Research Scientist at CombineNet, where I
research and develop
intelligent economic software for real
business problems.  My work lies in the interaction between
electronic market
design, optimization, artificial intelligence,
and economic theory.  Currently, I am focusing on developing
optimization for expressive advertising auctions.


I received my  PhD in computer science and engineering from
the University of Michigan in 2001 for my work in market
protocols for decentralized supply chain formation (
pdf).
Many of my papers are available online.
