Elliot Anshelevich received his Ph.D. from
Cornell University under
the supervision of
Jon
Kleinberg in 2005. His research interests include
network design problems, algorithmic game theory, local
and decentralized routing algorithms, approximation
algorithms, and information propagation in both social
and computer networks. He is particularly interested in
a range of problems defined on large decentralized
networks, especially those involving strategic
agents. Elliot lives in Troy, NY, where he has been a
faculty member of the RPI
CS department since 2006.

Anirban did his undergraduate studies at the Computer
Science department of
IIT Kharagpur, and
joined the Cornell CS
department as a graduate student in 2000. After
finishing his PhD in 2006 under the supervision of
John Hopcroft,
he joined Yahoo
Research. Anirban's research interests span linear
algebraic techniques for information retrieval,
algorithmic game theory, modeling of and algorithms for
social networks and the design and analysis of
randomized and approximation algorithms in general.
