Vasilis Livanos

Visiting post-doctoral researcher at EPFL.
 

Research interests:
Algorithmic Game Theory, Algorithms under Uncertainty, Combinatorial Optimization,
Online Mechanism Design, Fair Division.

I am a visiting post-doctoral researcher at EPFL, hosted by the fantastic Andrés Cristi. I am also affiliated with the Archimedes AI Research Unit of the Athena Research Center. My research interests lie in algorithmic game theory, with a focus on theoretical problems related to the theme of 'optimization under uncertainty' and fair division.

Previously, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Chile, where I was a member of the Information and Computation in Market Design (ICMD) team. Before that, I was a student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I was extremely fortunate to be co-advised by Ruta Mehta and Chandra Chekuri.

Before joining the theory group at UIUC, I received my Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens where I was a member of the Computation and Reasoning Lab and I was lucky enough to be advised by Dimitris Fotakis.
