Profile picture of Hassan Andrabi

I'm Hassan Andrabi, a PhD student at the Centre for Brain, Mind and Markets at the University of Melbourne.

My core research interests lie at the intersection of economics, and computational complexity theory. I run experiments to study the role of markets in society, and the extent to which they promote socially preferable outcomes.

I have previously worked as a software engineer in population health simulation modelling.
