Eva Tardos

Eva Tardos, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Computer Science and Information Science at Cornell University, is a world-renowned expert in algorithmic game theory and network algorithms. With a DiplMath and PhD from Eötvös University in Budapest, Tardos has made groundbreaking contributions at the intersection of computer science and economics. Her research, focusing on algorithms and games on networks, has earned her numerous prestigious accolades, including membership in the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences, as well as Packard, Sloan Foundation, and Guggenheim fellowships. Tardos's work on network flows, combinatorial optimization, and selfish routing has been foundational in the field, and she has co-authored the influential textbook "Algorithm Design" with Jon Kleinberg. Her leadership extends to editorial roles in major journals, and she has been recognized with several major prizes, including the Fulkerson Prize, Gödel Prize, and IEEE John von Neumann Medal. Tardos's interdisciplinary approach and significant contributions have established her as a key figure in shaping the understanding of algorithmic processes in economic and network systems.
