Yoav Shoham (Hebrew: יו×ב שה×‎; born 22 January 1956) is a computer scientist at Stanford University.[1] He received his Ph.D. at Yale University in 1987.[2] Shoham co-teaches a popular game theory course on Coursera.org,[3] along with Matthew O. Jackson and Kevin Leyton-Brown and Advanced game theory on Stanford-online.[4] He is also a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI),[5] and a charter member of the Game Theory Society (GTS).[6] He is a co-winner of the 2012 ACM - AAAI Allen Newell Award for "fundamental contributions at the intersection of computer science, game theory, and economics, most particularly in multi-agent systems and social coordination (broadly construed), which have yielded major contributions to all three disciplines".[7]
Shoham's recent work is concerned with game theoretic questions in multiagent systems. Earlier, he worked on temporal reasoning, nonmonotonic logics and theories of commonsense.
