I do research on the field of Social Simulation, where the aim is to build a multi-agent based model that can be used to simulate complex (social) systems. Agents represent humans with needs, identities and relations. These kind of models can give insights on social and dynamical processes, and support policy making within the system. The aim of my research is to build a virtual world that can be used by the Dutch Police for analysis on social-cultural issues or testing of interventions on criminal organizations.
