IMD Affiliates at the 2025 Joint Mathematics Meetings Special Session

In January 2025, three of IMD’s affiliates, Dr. David McCune, Dr. Jennifer Wilson, and Dr. Michael Jones will co-organize a Special Session on the Mathematics of Decisions, Elections, and Games at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle, WA. This event, part of the largest mathematics gathering in the world, will be devoted to talks on decision theory, voting theory, and game theory.

Several of the presenters are also IMD affiliates. They will contribute their expertise on instant-runoff voting (Dr. Nicholas Stephanopoulos, Harvard Law School), opinion dynamics (Dr. Natasa Dragovic, University of Saint Thomas), smart repair algorithms for building voting districts (Dr. Jeanne Clelland, University of Colorado Boulder), and margin-based voting methods (Dr. Wesley H. Holliday, University of California, Berkeley). IMD co-director Dr. Ismar Volić will present on hypergraph models for coalition structures.
