Herve Moulin

Professor Herve Moulin holds the Donald J Robertson Chair in Economics at the University of Glasgow, where he has been since 2013. Previously, he taught at Virginia Tech, Duke, and Rice Universities in the U.S. His academic journey includes a PhD from the Université de Paris (1975) and graduate studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (1971).

Moulin's research focuses on microeconomics, game theory, social choice theory, and mechanism design, with a particular emphasis on fair division. His work bridges theoretical foundations with real-world applications, addressing issues like resource allocation, cost-sharing mechanisms, and algorithmic fairness.

He has been recognized as a Fellow of the Econometric Society (1983), Royal Society of Edinburgh (2015), and British Academy (2018). His recent research trends emphasize fair division under congestion, algorithmic fairness in resource allocation, and mechanism design for strategic environments. Over 140 publications highlight his impact, including foundational work on random assignment, cost-sharing methods, and axiomatic fair division principles.

Key contributions include pioneering studies on envy-free division, strategic-proof mechanisms, and the application of game theory to public economics. His work often blends mathematical rigor with policy relevance, addressing challenges in economics, computer science, and public policy.
