Nominator's project description

Professor Faliszewski is one of the luminaries in the area of Computational Social Choice, with a particular focus on the complexity of voting-related problems. In recent years, he took a leading role in investigating both axiomatic and computational properties of multiwinner elections that are used in selecting committees. In Germany, he continues his work on multiwinner elections, incorporating concepts such as manipulation and robustness.
