I am a first year PhD student interested in applying ABM to understand the effect of formalizing property rights on the governance of land and natural resources.
Working on decision modeling in emergency healthcare. We are trying to design and develop service machine for emergency medical services.As a part of that, we are developing agent based models for emergency medical services
The big picture question driving my research is how do complex systems of interactions among individuals / agents result in emergent properties and how do those emergent properties feedback to affect individual / agent decisions. I have explored this big picture question in a number of different contexts including the evolution of cooperation, suburban sprawl, traffic patterns, financial systems, land-use and land-change in urban systems, and most recently social media. For all of these explorations, I employ the tools of complex systems, most importantly agent-based modeling.
My current research focus is on understanding the dynamics of social media, examining how concepts like information, authority, influence and trust diffuse in these new media formats. This allows us to ask questions such as who do users trust to provide them with the information that they want? Which entities have the greatest influence on social media users? How do fads and fashions arise in social media? What happens when time is critical to the diffusion process such as an in a natural disaster? I have employed agent-based modeling, machine learning, geographic information systems, and network analysis to understand and start to answer these questions.
My work centers on evaluating the adaptiva capacity and proposing strategies for managing forest under climate change in both temperate and tropical areas.
Tenured researcher @ government think-tank (IPEA) and CNPq (productivity grant - since 2014), complex modeler interested, data fan, transitional Python user, PhD. Background in urban analysis, economics, geography. From twitter.com/furtadobb
Agent-based modeling, urban policy, urban economics. Metropolis and municipalities analyses.
I’m am computational social scientist and data scientist with a background in political communication and social media research that specialises in agent-based simulation, social network analysis and the computational study of social media behaviour.
For the last three years, I was a Research Associate in Computational Social Science at Durham University designing and evaluating algorithms for realistic artificial social networks in Julia by creating a taxonomy of existing generator papers, accessible as an interactive, open-access database (RShiny dashboard), in addition to exploring the interdependencies of social network’s structural properties.
For my PhD in Politics at Glasgow University (2023) I designed and implemented an agent-based model of online polarisation and offline protest mobilisation, applied to Catalonia’s independence movement in Spain.

MakeShot.ai is an all-in-one AI content platform that lets you generate professional videos and images from text with powerful models like Veo 3, Sora 2, and Nano Banana.
MakeShot.ai is a unified AI content creation platform where creators and businesses can turn simple text prompts into high-quality videos and images using a suite of advanced models, including Veo 3 for native audio and photorealistic video, Sora 2 for cinematic storytelling, and Nano Banana for hyper-realistic images. The platform supports professional-grade outputs for social media, marketing campaigns, film production, and e-commerce visuals, all within a single interface that streamlines workflows and eliminates the need for multiple tools.
Annie Waldherr is Professor of Computational Communication Science at the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna. She studied Communication Science at the University of Hohenheim and the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon. She held positions at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Hohenheim and the Institute for Media and Communication Studies at Freie Universität Berlin where she also obtained her PhD in 2011. Before joining the University of Vienna in September 2020, Annie Waldherr was Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication at the University of Münster.
Her research focuses on public spheres, social movements and political communication under the conditions of digitalization, datafication and artificial intelligence.
