Dan Schoepflin


I am a postdoctoral fellow at DIMACS where I am very grateful to be under the supervision of David Pennock. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in the Fall 2023 Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design program. In 2023, I completed a PhD in Computer Science department at Drexel University where I was very fortunate to be advised by Vasilis Gkatzelis and to be a member of the Drexel EconCS research group. My primary research interests are algorithmic game theory and approximation algorithms. I was a Research Intern at Google (Mountain View) from June to September 2022, under the supervision of Gagan Goel. Here is my CV. Unless otherwise noted below, authors are ordered alphabetically as is standard in the computer science theory and economics communities.
