Nevanlinna Prize Video: Constantinos Daskalakis

Constantinos Daskalakis of M.I.T. transformed the understanding of computational complexity in markets, auctions and other economic structures. His work provides algorithms and defines limits on what can be performed efficiently in these domains.

This video was presented during the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro on August 1, 2018, organized by the International Mathematical Union.
