Research Themes and Projects

Auctions with a profit sharing contract:

? Proved that profit sharing contracts offer greater revenue from auctioning a resource

than one-time

payment; this provides a comparison of the FCC spectrum auctions and India s 3G spectrum

auction.

? Analyzed revenue consequences of bidding with securities tied to the realized value of

the resource.

Pricing cloud service:

? Demonstrated that fixed price alone gives higher revenue than using both fixed and

market based

pricing; this provides a comparison of Windows Azure and Amazon EC2 pricing models.

Structure and welfare properties of revenue maximizing package auctions:

? Quantified and obtained bounds on the loss in the realized welfare by revenue

maximizing auctions;

characterized revenue maximizing auctions for a benchmark class of package bidding

problems.

Others:

? Identified conditions under which large stochastic games can be approximated by mean

field approach.

? Developed a novel machine learning based scheme for ad-hoc sensor network localization.

? Developed low complexity algorithms for multiuser detection in wireless communication.
