Haris was cited for his research at the intersection of economics and artificial intelligence, especially in a rapidly developing field called computational social choice. He was recognised for his work on the design of preference aggregation algorithms; mechanisms for multi-agent resource allocation; and models and algorithms for cost allocation and team formation using tools from cooperative game theory.

Haris is also an invited fellow of the Centre for Policy and Market Design, University of Technology Sydney, and was an invited professor at University Paris Dauphine. His research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and economics, especially computational social choice and algorithmic game theory. Haris received a PhD in computer science from the University of Warwick, an MSc in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science from the University of Oxford and a BSc (Honours) in Computer Science from LUMS.
