Shweta Jain

I am a research associate at Game Theory Lab, CSA, IISc. I completed my Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Y. Narahari. During my Ph.D. I have worked on the problems of designing multi-armed bandit mechanisms for different settings like Crowdsourcing, Smart Grids, Sponsored Search Auctions, Procurement Auctions, etc. Currently, I am looking at the interesting problems arising at the intersection of machine learning and game theory in various practical applications like smart grids, blockchains, social networks, etc.
