Ioannis Caragiannis

I am a professor at the Department of Computer Science of Aarhus University (since 2020) and the head of the Computational Complexity and Game Theory research group. Before coming to Aarhus, I spent approximately three decades at the University of Patras, getting my Diploma (1996) and PhD (2002), and serving as a faculty member (2004-2020) of the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics.

I am doing research on algorithm design and analysis, with a current focus on computational problems of economic nature. In particular, my research lies at the interface of Computer Science (theoretical computer science and foundations of AI) and Economics (mainly game theory and microeconomics). See research, publications, and CV or contact me for more details.

Recent news

Sep 2022	I gave an invited talk at SAGT 2022 (the 15th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory), entitled "New fairness concepts for allocating indivisible items", based on very recent joint work with Jugal Garg, Nidhi Rathi, Eklavya Sharma, and Giovanna Varricchio (paper coming soon). My slides are available here.
Jul 2022	My paper "Optimal social choice functions: A utilitarian view," co-authored with Craig Boutilier, Simi Haber, Tyler Lu, Ariel Procaccia, and Or Sheffet, is the winner of the of the 2022 AIJ Prominent Paper Award, which "recognizes outstanding papers published not more than 7 years ago in the Artificial Intelligence journal that are exceptional in their significance and impact.
	Funding is available for talented CS, Math, Econ recent graduates who are interested in doing a PhD in fair division. See here for more details and application instructions. Application deadline: August 1st, 2022.
May 2022	My grant application on the "Conceptual and Computational Challenges in Fair Division" has been approved for funding by the DFF (see this announcement by our department). Soon, there will be a call for PhD applications (hopefully for our August 1st deadline).
	I will be an invited speaker at SAGT 2022 (the 15th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory).
