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.
