Edith Elkind is an Estonian computer scientist and the Ginni Rometty Professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University in Evanston.[1] She is known for her work in algorithmic game theory and computational social choice.
Education and career
editAs a high school student, Elkind competed for the Estonian team in the International Mathematical Olympiads in 1992 and 1993.[2] She earned a master's degree at Moscow State University in 1998,[3] and completed her Ph.D. in 2005 from Princeton University. Her dissertation, Computational Issues in Optimal Auction Design, was supervised by Amit Sahai.[4]
After completing her Ph.D., she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Warwick, the University of Liverpool, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She became a lecturer at the University of Southampton and an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University. She moved to Oxford in 2013, as a non-tutorial fellow of Balliol College, Oxford.[5] She was awarded the title of professor by Oxford in 2016.[6] She moved to Northwestern University in November 2024.[1]
Book
editWith Georgios Chalkiadakis and Michael J. Wooldridge, Elkind is an author of Computational Aspects of Cooperative Game Theory (Morgan & Claypool, 2012).
