Prof. Parkes\u2019 research has explored a variety of topics in multiagent systems and economics. His early work on combinatorial auctions made fundamental contributions to the theory of the field; other pioneering early work includes an influential synthesis of MDPs and mechanism design, a formalism for incentive-aligned, distributed mechanism design, and the development of market-based methods for resource allocation in sensor networks. Recent research of Prof. Parkes has applied machine learning to produce new results and techniques for human computation, mechanism design, and social choice. He has also provided sustained service to the Multiagent Systems and EconCS communities in key leadership roles."}
