Edith Elkind

Edith Elkind is an Estonian computer scientist who works as a professor of computing science at the University of Oxford and as a non-tutorial fellow of Balliol College, Oxford.[1] She is known for her work in algorithmic game theory and computational social choice.

Education and career

As a high school student, Elkind competed for the Estonian team in the International Mathematical Olympiads in 1992 and 1993.[2] She earned a master's degree at Moscow State University in 1998,[3] and completed her Ph.D. in 2005 from Princeton University. Her dissertation, Computational Issues in Optimal Auction Design, was supervised by Amit Sahai.[4]

After completing her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Warwick, the University of Liverpool, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She became a lecturer at the University of Southampton and an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University before moving to Oxford in 2013.[1] She was awarded the title of professor by Oxford in 2016.[5]

Book

With Georgios Chalkiadakis and Michael J. Wooldridge, Elkind is an author of Computational Aspects of Cooperative Game Theory (Morgan & Claypool, 2012).

gollark: What if I want it to be signed iff Tuesday?
gollark: What if I want a signed one?
gollark: That way it *can* be all numbers simultaneously.
gollark: 0 bit wide, accessing them is Undefined Behaviour.
gollark: Idea: 0-bit integers but their value is stored at the type level so you can still represent everything.
