Hari Prapan

Ph.D. Research Fellow in Computer Science & Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar.

I work under the guidance of Prof. Manisha Padala. My research lies at the intersection of mechanism design and machine learning, with a focus on strategic behavior, incentives, online learning, and decision-making under uncertainty. I am particularly interested in bandits, contract design, LLM routing, and incentive-aware AI.
