Staff profile

Ehud Lehrer has held academic positions at Northwestern University and Tel Aviv University, and he received his PhD from the Hebrew University in 1996. His main research interests span a wide range of topics, including Ergodic and probability theories, dynamic strategic interactions, learning, the role of information in single- and multi-agent models, decision theory, cooperative games and interactive epistemology.

He received research grants from NSF, BSF, ISF, and DFG and others. He is a fellow of several professional societies, including the Game Theory Society, the Econometric Society, and the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory (SAET). In addition to his research and teaching activities, John has served as an editor of Games and Economic Behavior for seven years.
