Bio

Yiannis is a Senior Lecturer (aka Associate Professor) in Algorithms and Complexity at the University of Glasgow. Previously, he has been faculty member at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and TU Munich. He holds a DPhil in Computer Science from the University of Oxford, where he was also a member of St Anne's College. He completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics, and an MSc in Logic, Algorithms and Computation, at the University of Athens, Greece.

Yiannis's research interests lie in the general area of algorithms, complexity, and optimization. He is primarily working in the field of algorithmic game theory, where he is using tools from algorithmic theory, mathematics, and theoretical economics, to study aspects of existence, quality, computability, and approximability, of stable and/or desirable outcomes in setting involving agents with competing incentives, including classical game theory and equilibrium analysis, auctions, and mechanism design.
