Priel Levy

Before joining the Department of Management, Dr. Levy was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Computer Science Department, University of Warwick, England, where she studied agent- based modelling of norms and conventions. She earned her Ph.D. and M.Sc. both in Computer Science from Bar-Ilan University. Her research is in artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, dealing with game theory, economic contests, crowdsourcing, and mechanism design. Dr. Levy is interested primarily in the role that information plays in multi-agent systems and how different designs may influence the system and potentially increase its revenue.
