LOCAL: GLOBAL:
BRIEF BIO
Professional (for talk anouncements etc.): Vincent Conitzer is the Kimberly J. Jenkins University Professor of New Technologies and Professor of Computer Science, Professor of Economics, and Professor of Philosophy at Duke University. 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. Most of his research is on artificial intelligence (especially multiagent systems) and economic theory (especially game theory, social choice, and mechanism design). Conitzer has received the Social Choice and Welfare Prize (2014), 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 Kavli Fellow, a Bass Fellow, a Sloan Fellow, and one of AI's Ten to Watch. Conitzer and Preston McAfee are 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 including soccer, tennis, and judo, and at Duke it is hard to avoid playing basketball...

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".
