Martin Lackner works on artificial intelligence, specifically on computational social choice. His research deals with fundamental questions about fair collective decision making and how algorithms can support such decisions. Currently, he is principal investigator of the project “Algorithms for Sustainable Group Decision Making” at TU Wien. Before that, he was holding a postdoctoral researcher position at the University of Oxford. He obtained his doctoral degree from TU Wien and has published over 50 papers at top artificial intelligence and algorithms venues (and also in economics and philosophy journals).Piotr Skowron is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warsaw. He obtained his PhD from the University of Warsaw, followed by a postdoc position at the University of Oxford and a Humboldt fellowship for postdoctoral researchers at TU Berlin. His research mainly concerns the topic of computational social choice, specifically committee elections. His worklinks various ideas from computational social choice, game theory, resource allocation, and approximation algorithms. For his contribution to the literature on committee elections, he won the 2020 IJCAI Computers and Thought Award. He has published more than 70 articles and conference papers in the top venues on algorithmic game theory and artificial intelligence.
