Project Title: Computational Social Choice
Project Description: During my time at the LSE I will be working on a variety of topics in the field of computational social choice. Computational social choice deals with the formal and algorithmic aspects of collective decision making, be it in the context of aggregating individual preferences in an election, of fairly allocating goods to individual agents, or of extracting a collective view from individual opinions and beliefs.
