BRIEF BIO
Professional (for talk anouncements etc.):
Vincent Conitzer is the Kimberly J. Jenkins Distinguished University Professor of New Technologies and Professor of Computer Science, Professor of Economics, and Professor of Philosophy at Duke University. He is also Head of Technical AI Engagement at the Institute for Ethics in AI, and Professor of Computer Science and Philosophy, at the University of Oxford. He received Ph.D. (2006) and M.S. (2003) degrees in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and an A.B. (2001) degree in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University. Conitzer works on artificial intelligence (AI). Much of his work has focused on AI and game theory, for example designing algorithms for the optimal strategic placement of defensive resources. More recently, he has started to work on AI and ethics: how should we determine the objectives that AI systems pursue, when these objectives have complex effects on various stakeholders?

Conitzer has received the 2021 ACM/SIGAI Autonomous Agents Research Award, the Social Choice and Welfare Prize, a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the IJCAI Computers and Thought Award, an NSF CAREER award, the inaugural Victor Lesser dissertation award, an honorable mention for the ACM dissertation award, and several awards for papers and service at the AAAI and AAMAS conferences. He has also been named a Guggenheim Fellow, a Sloan Fellow, a Kavli Fellow, a Bass Fellow, an ACM Fellow, a AAAI Fellow, and one of AI's Ten to Watch. He has served as program and/or general chair of the AAAI, AAMAS, AIES, COMSOC, and EC conferences. Conitzer and Preston McAfee were the founding Editors-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation (TEAC).

Personal: I grew up in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Besides working and spending time with my wife and kids, I enjoy sports, in the past mostly tennis and judo, and more recently mostly soccer and running, all very much at a recreational level...

A game-theoretically optimal computer player for a class of Liar's Dice games (source code). Let me know if you find bugs/have comments. (Apologies for the archaic text-based interface...)

A puzzle - let me know if you solve it. Here are some hints, as well as the first few steps of the solution, and even a translation into French by Dany Bergeron. (For more puzzles, see SIGecom Exchanges.)

A 5-line integer program formulation for Sudoku in GMPL, the modeling language for GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit). (I'm certainly not the first to come up with such a formulation, e.g. here.) The example puzzle is from Wikipedia's Sudoku page (and solves in 0.0 seconds).

"Contizer" is the most common misspelling of my family's name; I wonder what causes this particular typo (rather than others with the same edit distance)? Of course, this is nothing compared to the misspellings of "Atila Abdulkadiroglu".
