His research is in three primary areas: (1) mechanism design, especially of combinatorial auctions and exchanges, mechanisms that support efficient reallocation of goods when participants have complex preferences regarding bundles of items, (2) exploring ways to integrate machine learning techniques into mechanism design (3) application of mechanism design to areas such as computational resource allocation, spectrum allocation, and fintech.
Dr. Lubin received his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Harvard University in 1999, thereafter, he joined BBN Technologies, the research and development firm where the first internet routers were developed, working on advanced multi-agent modeling, scheduling and logistics systems. After six years in industry, he returned to Harvard University to pursue a Ph.D. at the intersection of computer science, game theory and economics. Upon completion he joined the BU Questrom School of Management.
Dr. Lubin is a recipient of the Siebel Fellowship and a Yahoo Key Technical Challenge award. Portions of his research are funded by NSF, NIHCM and the Veterans Administration.
