I’m a computational historian and complexity scientist, Founder & Director of SoDy (Societal Dynamics) - the historical policy lab. I got my PhD in Classics from New York University, and since 2014 have been part of Seshat: Global History Databank (my full CV is available here). Currently, I’m affiliated faculty with the Complexity Science Hub, Vienna in the Social Complexity & Collapse Working Group, a research scientist with the SocialAI lab at the University of Toronto, and a member of the UN Foundation hosted Accelerating Systemic Risk Assessment Network. In general, my work seeks to understand societal responses to shifting ecological, social, and economic contexts that determine well-being outcomes in the past, as well as how this may shed light on critical social pressures today.
