Vincent Conitzer was honored for his "seminal work at the boundary of microeconomic theory and artificial intelligence, in particular for groundbreaking work on computational aspects of game theory, social choice, and mechanism design," according to the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The organization presents the Computers and Thought award every two years to the world’s top artificial intelligence researchers under the age of 35.
"The award is the most prestigious award a young scientist in the area of artificial intelligence can win," explained Professor Tuomas Sandolm who was Contizer's Ph.D. adviser at Carnegie Mellon.
