About me
Hello! My name is Isaac and I am a student in computer science focused on mechanism design, artificial intelligence, and computational social choice. I am originally from Milton, Massachusetts and attended Harvard University as an undergraduate where I was advised by Ariel Procaccia and Jamie-Tucker Folts. I am currently a research student at the University of Oxford where I am a Rhodes Scholar and am advised by Professor Edith Elkind. I enjoy looking at problems broadly in the field of theoretical computer science and its societal implications including mechanism design, data privacy (specifcally differential privacy), and algorithmic fairness. I am always looking for collaborators and paper reccomendations!
What I'm (currently) doing
-
Participatory Budgeting
Problems in computational social choice centering around methods for fairly dividing municipal budgets across projects.
-
Differential Privacy
Problems in differential privacy and how it relates to artificial intelligence, data valuation, and mechanism design.
-
Algorthmic Fairness
Interested broadly in how we can make algorithms and decision-making processes more fair. Recently interested in the connections between multi-calibration, mult-accuracy and fundamental computer science theorems like the Regularity Lemma.
-
Fair Division
Interested in problems around fair division with limitations including information availability, hard constraints for item availability, and complexity. Recently interested in the problem of fairly assigning students to schools.
Manuscripts
-
Obvious Independence of Clones
Exploring the concept of obvious strategy-proofness in the domain of voting rules.
