Hadi Hosseini
I am an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State University and an Associate Director of the Center for Artificial Intelligence Foundations and Engineered Systems (CAFE). Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Prior to that I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, hosted by Ariel Procaccia. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, advised by Kate Larson and Robin Cohen.
I usually work on problems related to Artificial Intelligence and Multiagent Systems. More specifically, I am interested in problems at the interface of computer science and economics. I often study different aspects of self-interested players in multiagent systems, and develop algorithms and techniques to achieve certain computational and game-theoretical properties.
My research is supported by an NSF Medium RI Award, an NSF CRII Award, and an NSF IUSE Award. Thank you, NSF!Multiple Open Positions
I have multiple open positions at various levels (PhD, Masters, visting scholars, and undergraduate students) to work in the areas of multiagent systems, fair division, matching theory, and in general the intersection of AI and economics.
I am especially looking for highly-motivated candidates with strong background in algorithm design and solid programming skills. Prior research experience in the fields of artificial intelligence and algorithm design is an asset.
Students with background in economics, mathematics, or other related areas are also encouraged to apply.
Please take a look at my recent publications. If you are interested in joining my group, please complete the following form. There is no need to send me an email separately.
MatchU.ai is born!
MatchU.ai blends education and research by offering an interactive platform to find how to form mutually beneficial relationships, decide how to distribute resources, or resolve conflicts about a set of alternatives through a suite of algorithms rooted in economics, computer science, and artificial intelligence.News
