Edith Elkind

Edith Elkind is a Professor of Computing Science at the University of Oxford, affiliated with Balliol College. She joined Oxford in 2013 after previous positions at Nanyang Technological University and holds a PhD from Princeton University. Her research focuses on algorithmic game theory and computational social choice, examining how algorithms can model collective decision-making in social and economic systems.

Elkind's work spans voting theory, cooperative games, and multiwinner elections. Key interests include:

• Design and analysis of voting systems
• Stability in cooperative games with overlapping coalitions
• Complexity of election problems
• Preference modeling in social choice

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on Condorcet domains, voting rule properties, and preference structures. Over 50% of her work in the past five years explores computational aspects of social choice, with increasing attention to multiagent systems and algorithmic game theory applications.

She has supervised six PhD/Master's students including Jiarui Gan and Dominik Peters. Her research group collaborates internationally with institutions in Europe and Asia, focusing on game-theoretic models of collective behavior.
