Computer Science Student and Faculty Win Best Paper Award at the 2025 Conference on Web and Internet Economics  

Ph.D. student Yiheng Shen and Professor of Computer Science Kamesh Munagala have won the Best Paper Award of the 2025 Conference on Web and Internet Economics (WINE) for their paper titled “The Limits of Interval-Regulated Price Discrimination.”  

WINE is an interdisciplinary platform for exchanging ideas and findings on incentives and computation. The conference brings together researchers from fields including theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, operations research and economics. Shen and Munagala’s paper was one of 67 accepted papers of WINE 2025.  

Munagala has been a professor of Computer Science at the Trinity College of Arts and Sciences since 2016, researching theoretical computer science and is an advisor to Shen. Shen’s research interests lie in the interface of economics and computation, particularly fairness and stability in resource allocation issues.   

Hosted by Rutgers University, the 21st annual WINE conference will be held on December 8-11 in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
