About
Nicole Immorlica, PhD, is a Professor of Computer Science at Yale University and a prominent figure at the intersection of economics and computation. An ACM Fellow and recipient of the SIGecom Test of Time Award, she earned both her B.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her research expertise spans auction and market design, social networks, and mechanism design, with a particular focus on how incentives influence large-scale human and algorithmic interactions. Before joining Yale, she was a Senior Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, and her highly-cited work—such as her analysis of stability in two-sided markets and Schelling segregation—is widely recognized for advancing the theoretical foundations of modern algorithmic game theory.
