My more recent research focuses on

  • The theory, design, analysis, and implementation of new organ and blood allocation and exchange mechanisms, such as kidney, liver, and dual-donor exchange clearinghouses and blood allocation with replacement donors
  • The theory of two-sided matching mechanisms with initial property rights and their applications to tuition exchange in college admissions, teacher (re)assignment, student exchange, and transfer of student-athletes; and their implications on labor markets, education, etc.
  • The theory of allocation systems via reserves and their applications in rationing of scarce medical resources such as antivirals, ICU units, vaccines
  • Improving recommendation and matching systems used in the adoption of children, theory of search and matching
  • Axiomatic mechanism design for matching and discrete resource allocation
