Abheek Ghosh

Abheek Ghosh is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, affiliated with the Department of Computer Science. He completed his Ph.D. at Oxford under the supervision of Profs. Edith Elkind and Paul W. Goldberg, with a thesis titled "Contests: Equilibrium Analysis, Design, and Learning." Prior to his Ph.D., he earned his undergraduate degree from IIT-Guwahati and a master's from UT-Austin.

• Research Interests: Economics and computation, computational complexity theory, contest theory, algorithmic game theory, multi-agent systems, and learning dynamics in games.
• Collaborations: Worked with Prof. Milind Tambe at Google Research on restless multi-armed bandits; collaborated with Prof. Umang Bhaskar at TIFR on voting theory.

His recent work explores the computational complexity of contests, coalition formation, and bandit problems. Publications in top venues like AAMAS, AAAI, SAGT, and ICML highlight his contributions to game theory and artificial intelligence. He received the Departmental Teaching Award (2023) for his teaching roles in courses such as Continuous Mathematics and Computational Game Theory.

Scientific Awards:

• Departmental Teaching Award (2023)

Abheek has served as a teaching assistant for multiple courses at Oxford and UT-Austin, and as a reviewer for journals like Journal of the ACM and Games and Economic Behavior, as well as conferences including EC, WINE, NeurIPS, and AAAI.
