Poorvi L. Vora - Research: Voting
This research funded in part by past award NSF grant IIS 0505510 (2005-2006) and current awards NSF grant CNS 0831149 (2008-2011), NSF CNS 0937267 (2009-2012) and NSF CNS 1137973 (2011-2012).

The publications in "Measuring the Performance of Voting Systems" are also listed as part of my applied information theory research.
