Reshef Meir’s Homepage
	I am a PhD student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering of The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, and a member of the MAS (MultiAgent Systems) group, headed by Prof. Jeffrey S. Rosenschein, who is also my advisor. In addition, I am an intern in Microsoft Research, Herzlia (formerly Microsoft Israel R&D labs). Our group is coordinated by Moshe Tennenholtz. My main research area is Computational Game Theory, which is another term for “things that are not abstract enough to be considered as pure game-theory, yet not practical enough to be regarded as computer-science”. Under this vague title, I am mainly interested in the design and analysis of mechanisms that encourage self-interested agents to cooperate.  I also hope to make people cooperate some time, although this seems far less likely at this point. My research occasionally intersects with other fields, such as Machine Learning, Economics, Cognitive Psychology and Information Theory, and I am particularly interested in the interconnections between them.  I generally prefer theoretical work, but will write code if I have to. I teach the course Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence (Spring 2011) (Spring 2010) (Spring 2009). Married to Adi, and a proud father to Yaara. In my spare time, I also like to cook, bike, climb, skydive and travel the world. The picture was taken inside a mosque tower in Uzbekistan.
