Research Overview
I am mainly interested in 'mediation' and 'communication' in games, and how the introduction of a mediator can help achieve 'fairer or equitable' and 'improved' outcomes, as compared to what the economic agents might achieve by acting on their own.
Profile
I completed M.Sc. (in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics) at the University of Birmingham, U.K. in 2008. I started Ph.D. in 2008 and currently I am in my final year of Ph.D. at the University of Birmingham, and I am working under the supervision of Professor Indrajit Ray and Dr. Martin K. Jensen.
My current research is mainly focused on a game-theoretic solution concept, coarse correlated equilibrium, and its applications to various models like Cournot and Bertrand duopoly, public good and environmental games.
