Publications

An (almost) full publication list is available at dblp and google scholar.

Some of my more recent papers either list all authors in alphabetic (indicated by a pink *) or randomized (indicated by a purple ®) order, with their publicly verifiable record of the randomization available here. If you have ever wondered why one would do this, see this very brief essay discussing this issue.
