Beginning AGT and Mechanism Design
The following materials are great for a researcher just starting in this area:
- Tim Roughgarden's course on Algorithmic Game Theory [ videos | lecture notes ]
- Tim Roughgarden's course on Advanced Mechanism Design [ videos | lecture notes ]
- Anna Karlin's undergraduate textbook "Game Theory, Alive" [ book ]
- Jason Hartline's book on Mechanism Design and Approximation [ book ]
- Economics and Computation Boot Camp at the Simons Institute [ videos | program ]
- Matt Weinberg's tutorial on Secretaries and Prophets from the Algorithms and Uncertainty Boot Camp at Simons [ part I video | part II video | full boot camp | program ]
- My materials on Mechanism Design for Social Good are listed under Research.

Advice
I often write blog posts with advice. This list contains great advice pieces by others.
- "How to to get a Ph.D. in mathematics in a timely fashion" by Sara Billey: tracking progress in theoretical research [ link ]
- "The 7-Year Postdoc" by Radhika Nagpal: staying sane despite career stress [ link ]

Web Design Templates
In a previous life, I did some basic professional web design for Oberlin College and ERA NYC. Now, I sometimes make sites for academic things. Web design is non-trivial work; please never take the code of a website from anyone without asking!
The following templates I offer with my permission for anyone to use (with credit, already embedded):
- Single page site: good for a personal webpage or a simple reading group [ demo | download ]
- Multi-page site: good for a personal webpage with a lot of information, a seminar, etc. [ demo | download ]
- Conference site: good for a conference, workshop, seminar; has multiple pages; header always visible [ demo | download ]
- Course site: good for running a class [ demo | download ]
- Mechanism Design for Social Good, also used by a STOC Mechanism Design Workshop and the Drexel Theory Reading Group
- Alon Eden's personal webpage
- Tomer Ezra's personal webpage
- Eston Schweikart's personal webpage
- BU TCS Research Group
- (I had some tiny role in) Columbia Theory Group
