Nominator's project description
| Professor Hemaspaandra is well known internationally for her outstanding achievements in theoretical computer science. She made important contributions to the fields of computional complexity theory, computational social choice theory, constraint satisfaction, and modal logic. Her study of the computational aspects of voting systems and of preference aggregation has applications in artificial intelligence, in particular for multi-agent systems. In her research project in Germany she seeks to find natural voting systems that are computationally resistant to various forms of manipulation and electoral control. |
