Summer 2000 Research
My mentor is Amy
Greenwald. Her primary research interest is multi-agent learning
on the Internet. She's a wonderful person, and she's very
interesting, so visit her web page to learn about her.
The project that we have picked out for the summer deals with the
behavior of intelligent agents in continuous double auctions (such as
the stock market). Rajarshi Das and Gerald Tesauro at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
have developed a simulator that we are using to design and test such
agents. By the end of the summer, we hope to build an actual agent
that will participate alongside humans in Steve Gjerstad's
experimental CDAs.
Research Progress
This summer, I am doing research at Brown University, in the Computer Science Department. I am
being funded through the Distributed Mentor
Project (DMP), which is sponsored by the Computing Research Association (CRA).
The DMP matches female undergraduates with female professors at
graduate institutions across the country. The objective of the
program is to encourage more women to pursue graduate school in
Computer Science and Computer Engineering.
