1975

Leyton-Brown co-teaches a popular game theory course on Coursera.org, along with Matthew O. Jackson and Yoav Shoham. Leyton-Brown serves as an associate editor for the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Artificial Intelligence Journal, and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Transactions on Economics and Computation, and was program chair for the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Electronic Commerce in 2012. Leyton-Brown"s research is at the intersection of computer science and microeconomics, addressing computational problems in economic contexts and incentive issues in multiagent systems He also studies the application of machine learning to the automated design and analysis of algorithms for solving hard computational problems.
