Welcome to my webpage! My name is Atanas Dinev and I am second-year Ph.D. student at the Operations Research Center at MIT where I am advised by Prof. Thodoris Lykouris.

My research interests broadly lie in sequential decision-making, machine learning, online algorithms, game theory and their applications in online platforms and online marketplaces. I am also generally interested in applied mathematical modelling.

Prior to joining MIT, I graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with Bacherlor’s degree in Mathematics. While at Princeton, I worked with Prof. Matt Weinberg on projects in Algorithmic Game Theory and Algorithms Under Uncertainty. Here is my CV
