David Pennock is a Principal Research Scientist at Yahoo! Research in New York
City, where he leads a group focused on algorithmic
economics. Pennock's job is to dream up technologies that are
disruptive and revolutionary, either commercially, scientifically, or
both. He has over fifty academic publications relating to electronic
commerce and the web, including papers in PNAS, Science, IEEE
Computer, Theoretical
Computer Science, AAAI, EC, and WWW. He has given over thirty talks
and authored one patent and ten patent applications. In 2005, he was
named to MIT
Technology Review's list of 35 top technology innovators under age 35 having the
potential to profoundly impact the world. Pennock is at the forefront
of a growing vanguard of computer scientists and economists who are
working together to investigate the role of computation in economic
theory and to design and build the marketplaces of the digital
age. One of his primary areas of expertise is the design and analysis
of prediction
markets.
Prior to joining Yahoo!, Pennock worked at NEC Research and
Microsoft Research, and served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at
Pennsylvania State University. Pennock has served as a reviewer or
organizer for a number of academic journals, conferences, and
workshops. He received a B.S. in Physics from Duke University (magna
cum laude), an M.S. in Computer Science from Duke, and a Ph.D. in
Computer Science from the University of Michigan. Reports of
Pennock's research have appeared in Time, Discover, New Scientist,
CNN, the Economist, and the New York Times.
