Amir Ronen

Amir Ronen (Hebrew: אמיר רונן; born 1965) is an Israeli computer scientist.

Ronen studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he earned a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. successively.

After spending a few years as an assistant professor at the Technion, he joined the IBM Research Center in Haifa.

In 2012, Ronen received the Gödel Prize, along with Elias Koutsoupias, Christos Papadimitriou, Tim Roughgarden, Noam Nisan, and Eva Tardos, for initiating and developing a new field of research called Algorithmic Mechanism Design (AMD).

[1][2][3] This field integrates concepts from theoretical economics and game theory (Nash equilibrium) with computer science concepts such as algorithm design and complexity theory.
