I am an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and The Design Lab at the University of California, San Diego.

My research interests are in network economics, game theory, ethics and economics of AI, and reinforcement learning. I lead the MINDS lab, where we study decision making and learning in networks (network games and multi-agent reinforcement learning), fairness in AI (data biases and long-term impacts with human-in-the-loop), and economics of cyber security (incentive design and data analytics). Our research is generously supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Amazon, and Cisco.
