Wrapping Up the Program

This week I only have a short update as the program is wrapping up. I am currently working on creating a final presentation and paper for George and I's project this summer. Once these two items are complete, George and I plan on continuing to work with Ariel to accomplish two main items. The first main item is to put together a final publishable manucript that we will submit to a conference and the second main item is to start thinking about a new question related to tournament design. This new question, which Ariel pitched today, seems quite interesting and could lead to some fruitful research!

Finally, as I reflect on my summer at DIMACS, I can say that I had a great time as a participant of the program. I recieved amazing mentorship from Ariel and had the opportunity to learn good deal about Auction Theory. I strongly encourage other undergraduates to apply to future iterations of the DIMACS summer REU program!
