"If you believe too much you'll never notice the flaws; if you doubt too much you won't get started. It requires a lovely balance."
-- Richard W. Hamming
I am a Ph. D. Candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Automation, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. My research interest is in the game theoretic problems arising in social and economic networks. In particular, I am interested in understanding the behavior of rational and intelligent agents who engage in strategic interaction with each other and the environment when they are connected over a network. Examples include classical task outsourcing, the exciting area of crowdsourcing, formation of hierarchies in organizations etc. For a list of my publications, please visit the publications page.
