Hello, I'm Dominik. I'm a fourth-year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, supervised by Edith Elkind. I work on problems in algorithmic game theory and computational social choice. Recently, my main focus has been on understanding and exploiting underlying structure in preference data: once we notice that agents' preferences are well-behaved, this can greatly help us in aggregating their opinions and make good group decisions. I am also working on using SAT solvers to find new paradoxes and impossibilities in voting theory and beyond.
I'm a member of Balliol College. Before starting my PhD (or rather DPhil) in 2015, I was an undergraduate student of Maths & Computer Science at St. John's College, Oxford, where I had a particular focus on Foundations of Mathematics and Topology. I'm proud to be an MMathCompSci, which at 12 letters is the longest title the University has to offer. I'm originally from Barsbüttel, close to Hamburg, where I briefly studied Economics before coming to Oxford.
