Trung Dang

Hi! I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Prof. Shuchi Chawla. Before joining UT, I was as an undergraduate research assistant at Purdue University, working with Prof. Alex Psomas and Prof. Paul Valiant.

My primary research interest lies at the intersection of computer science and economics. As of now, I am primarily focusing on mechanism design, with a focus in prophet inequality and its variants. I am also interested in theoretical computer science in general, especially algorithmic statistics, machine learning theory, and combinatorial algorithms.

I also have many interests apart from research, including competitive programming and rhythm games (see more in the projects page).

My full name in Vietnamese is Đặng Đoàn Đức Trung.
