Academic Service
I am the Founder and Chair of the Computational Modelling and Artificial Intelligence for Social System (CMAISS) workshop, part of the International Conference on Computational Science. Throughout my postdoctoral work, I have been an active participant in major funded research initiatives, including the ERC Consolidator grant BEHAVE, the NWO Open Competition SpinOut, and the ORA project ToRealSim. I regularly serve as a reviewer for journals such as the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation and Quality & Quantity.
