I am a graduate student at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I am jointly working with Professors Pablo Parrilo and Asuman Ozdaglar . I received my BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Bilkent University and my MS degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT. I am expecting to complete my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (with a minor in Economics) by June 2013.

My research interests include:

Mechanism Design, Theory and applications of auctions, design of combinatorial auctions and iterative auctions, repeated strategic interactions and incentive design.

Social and Economic Networks, Pricing and resource management in networked systems, network economics, learning in networks, network optimization and control.

Game Theory and its Applications, Learning in games, games on networks, approximations in games and dynamics of strategic interactions.

I am generously supported by a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship.
