Research Experience
- Associate Professor at the Computational Science Lab, Informatics Institute, University of Amsterdam; Co-lead of POLDER at Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Amsterdam; Director of MSc Complex Systems and Policy, Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies, University of Amsterdam.
Education
- Completed a PhD in Sciences at the University of Minho, Portugal, in 2017; Was a Visiting Research Scholar at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, at Princeton University, where I also completed two postdoctoral appointments after my PhD.
Background
- In this era of Complexity, I develop new models of human collective behavior to anticipate the intended and unintended consequences of interventions on complex social systems. From climate change to global misinformation, our collective inability to manage these systems results in many systemic crises. Thus, we must understand these systems and how their emergent properties derive from their interconnectedness. Using various mathematical and computational methods, coupled with experiments and observations, we delve into the intricacies of systems involving humans, resources, and governing institutions. I aim to utilize this knowledge to address some of society's most pressing problems.
