Microsoft Cambridge Lab II

It's officially hit the wires, Jennifer Chayes and Christian Borgs will be heading up a new Microsoft lab in Cambridge II -- that is, here by Harvard and MIT. The proposed theme is interesting (and, happily, very appealing to me) -- algorithms with an emphasis on social networks and algorithmic game theory.

It opens this summer. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

i didn't know that you are interested in algorithmic game theory.

Anon 1-- I doubt they're ready for interns this summer, but keep your ears open...

Anon 2-- I'm mostly interested in the "algorithmic" side of algorithmic game theory, but David Parkes and I have started talking about some problems...
