Asuman Ozdaglar received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey, in 1996, and the S.M. and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1998 and 2003, respectively. Since 2003,she has been a member of the faculty of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is currently the Class of 1943 Associate Professor. She is also a member of the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems and the Operations Research Center. Her research interests include optimization theory, with emphasis on nonlinear programming and convex analysis, game theory, with applications in communication, social, and economic networks, and distributed optimization and control. She is the co-author of the book entitled "Convex Analysis and Optimization" (Athena Scientific, 2003). Professor Ozdaglar is the recipient of a Microsoft fellowship, the MIT Graduate Student Council Teaching award, the NSF Career award, and the 2008 Donald P. Eckman award of the American Automatic Control Council. She served on the Board of Governors of the Control System Society in 2010. She is currently the chair of the working group Game-Theoretic Methods in Networks under the Technical Committee Networks and Communications Systems of the IEEE Control Systems Society and serves as an associate editor for the area Optimization Theory, Algorithms and Applications for the Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research.Ishai Menache received his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, in 2008. Prior to his graduate studies, he worked for a couple of years in Intel, as an engineer in the networks communication group. Until recently, he was a postdoctoral associate at the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems in MIT. He is currently a visiting researcher atMicrosoft Research New England, focusing on pricing and resource allocation aspects of Cloud Computing. Dr. Menache's broader areas of interest include communication networks, game theory and machine learning. He is a recipient of the Marie Curie Outgoing International Fellowship.
