Valles Professor Vice Dean for Innovation, NYU Stern School of Business Associated Faculty Member, NYU Center for Data Science I work in the areas of game theory and, more recently, quantum information, and apply my work in game theory to the area of business strategy. Within game theory, I was one of the early workers in developing what has come to be called "epistemic game theory" --- an approach that studies the effect of how players in a game reason about one another (including their reasoning about other players' reasoning) on how the game is played. My book The Language of Game Theory (World Scientific, 2014) collects together much of my work in this area. I also developed (with Harborne Stuart) the concept of a "biform game" --- a model of strategy as moves that affect the amount of value created, and its division, among the players in a game. My book Co-opetition (with Barry Nalebuff, Doubleday, 1996) applies this idea to business strategy. Recently, I have been working on the implications for game theory of giving players in a game access to quantum rather than classical information resources. I received B.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Cambridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d8d122e4b050d4f4e16d1f/1390371280060-UIIG1UJ2J3C232RZGW1L/Xinying+Cai+photo+small.jpg Speakers - Xinying Cai Xinying Cai is Assistant Professor of Neural and Cognitive Sciences at NYU Shanghai.

He obtained his BSc in Life Sciences at Queen’s (1993), and then completed his MSc (1995) and PhD (2000) with Doug Munoz in the Department of Physiology. His graduate research launched a life-long interest in the role of pre-motor neural circuits in behavioural control. Specifically, his research examines how the brain chooses between and efficiently prepares actions, when we are faced with uncertainty. Dr. Dorris received the Governor General Gold Medal for his PhD thesis. He then moved to New York University for his post-doctoral studies with Paul Glimcher. His pioneering work in Neuroeconomics examined the role of the parietal cortex in decision making during strategic games. In the Fall of 2003, Dr. Dorris joined the Department of Physiology at Queen’s as an assistant professor and recipient of a Tier II Canada Research Chair in Neural Control of Decision Making. Dr. Dorris was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009. In 2013, Dr. Dorris moved his laboratory to the Institute of Neuroscience within the Shanghai Institutes of Biological Sciences where he is Head Investigator of the Laboratory of Decision-Making. He continues to focus on elucidating brain areas involved in choosing motor actions based on their economic value. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d8d122e4b050d4f4e16d1f/1390371222511-4VJNBWE2298792MMP7J7/Egner+2012+headshot+small.jpg Speakers - Tobias Egner Tobias Egner received his B.Sc. in Psychology (1999) and Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience (2002) from the University of London, before performing postdoctoral research at Columbia University and Northwestern University.

Welsh-Bohmer Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology Director, Joseph & Kathleen Bryan ADRC Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Dr. Kathleen Welsh-Bohmer received her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Virginia in 1985 and completed clinical postdoctoral training in neuropsychology at the University of Iowa, Department of Neurology in 1987. She joined the faculty of Duke University Medical Centerlater that year as the chief neuropsychologist of the then newly formed Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Alzheimer’s Disease Research (Bryan ADRC), a Center she now directs. Her primary faculty appointment has been in the Department of Psychiatry and she holds joint appointments within the Department of Medicine (Division of Neurology) and the Department of Psychology. Board certified via the American Board of Professional Psychology in the subspecialty of clinical neuropsychology, she currently is a tenured Professor of Psychiatry and a Senior Fellow in the Center for Human Development and Aging. Dr. Welsh-Bohmer’s research interests over the past 25 years have been centered on defining the early expression of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative dementias with an aim of facilitating disease prevention. She has led a number of epidemiological studies to examine the prevalence and incidence of AD in relation to avoidable antecedent exposures and other biological determinants. As the Principal Investigator for the Cache County Study of Memory, Health, and Aging (2002-2011), a large population based study of Alzheimer’s disease in an exceptionally long-lived cohort. Dr. Welsh-Bohmer is the Director of the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Duke University Medical Center (2005- present) which is supported via federal grants, contracts, and private funding to accelerate basic science discovery and clinicalcare programs for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other similar memory complaints. The Center has broad collaborative ties nationally and internationally. Among the most important collaborations are the studies that have resulted from statewide community partnerships. Through these community collaborations, the Bryan ADRC is engaged in a number of studies examining lifestyle approaches to prevent cognitive disorders and enhance successful cognitive aging. The work done with First Missionary Baptist Church in Jacksonville NC was recognized for its innovative approach to translate scientific findings into everyday lifestyle changes. This novel partnership was covered by ABC Nightly News with Charlie Gibson and USA today in 2008. Dr. Welsh-Bohmer has authored over 200 peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and abstracts mostly in the area of Alzheimer’s disease, memory, and aging. Her current work focuses on accelerating novel drug therapies and life style modifications for the prevention and treatment of memory disorders and Alzheimer’s disease. As the scientific lead in the neuropsychological design of a Phase III global clinical trial (Takeda Pharmaceutical Company- sponsor) to delay the onset of symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease, a new area of research that explores compounds in the preclinical asymptomatic stage of Alzheimer’s disease. She has developed approaches for culturally validating neuropsychological instruments capable of detecting early stage Alzheimer’s disease across a number of English and non-English speaking countries for FDA and EMA primary prevention trials. The Phase III study launched in the August 2013 and will extend over the next 5 years. The methods developed for this study fill an information void and have implications for accelerating global clinical trials in Alzheimer’s prevention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d8d122e4b050d4f4e16d1f/1390371179908-SC4JZBNC1BA9Z7AAI3H5/tianming_yang+small.jpg Speakers - Tianming Yang Dr. Yang received his B.S. in biochemistry from Fudan University in 1997. In 2003, he received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. He then did his postdoctoral work at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. In 2008, he became a staff scientist in the Laboratory of Neuropsychology at the National Institute of Mental Health of USA. Dr. Yang joined the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences, full time in 2013 as Investigator and Head of the Laboratory of Neural Mechanism of Decision Making. His main interests are the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52d8d122e4b050d4f4e16d1f/1390371215410-WSK1I2NSWRLM9G07IA6N/yin+photo+small.jpg Speakers - Henry Yin Henry Yin is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University.
