معرفی
Alan Tsang is an Assistant Professor at Carleton University's School of Computer Science. He specializes in Multi-agent Systems and Computational Social Choice, focusing on strategic interactions in social networks. Previously, he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the National University of Singapore and earned his PhD from the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo under Dr. Kate Larson. His research integrates game theory and agent-based simulations to address fairness, voting mechanisms, and social network dynamics. He is affiliated with Carleton's Institute for Data Science and the Department of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and serves as Information Officer of ACM SIGAI.
His educational background includes a Master of Mathematics in Graph Theory and a Bachelor of Mathematics in Bioinformatics, both from the University of Waterloo. His work explores interdisciplinary applications, such as modeling pandemic impacts and ethical computing challenges. He teaches courses like Multiagent Systems and Computing, Society, and Ethics, and actively mentors students in graduate and undergraduate research programs.
Key research areas include algorithmic fairness, social choice mechanisms, and agent-based modeling of societal systems. He leads the Games, Agents, and Incentives Workshop and collaborates on projects analyzing voting behavior in homophilic networks and fair allocation strategies.
