Ruggiero Cavallo
  Associate researcher,
  Microsoft Research




I'm a founding member of the relatively new Microsoft Research lab in New York City, where I do a mix of computer science and economics research.

I used to be at Yahoo Research in Preston McAfee's group. Before that, I was a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Michael Kearns. Before that, I got my Ph.D. from Harvard University in computer science, under the advisorship of David Parkes. And before that I was an undergraduate at Cornell.

Also, I like to play music. I ♥ NY. And about 6 years ago, I got married.
