In Spring 2023, I had the great opportunity to spend two months at the European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) in Milan as part of the NAVIGATE project exchange program. My experience unfolded in the unique setting of BASE, a fascinating refurbished old factory that now serves as a dynamic hub blending art,...
This summer I was able to visit two summer schools in Italy. Both focused on agent-based (ABM) modeling in macroeconomics, and covered two of the most important paradigms in macro ABM modeling: the K+S model and the CATS model.
In the beginning of September, a selection of our team traveled to Glasgow, Scotland to attend the yearly Social Simulation Conference, organised by the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA). The conference gathers researchers from the social simulation and agent-based modelling fields and is a great community for collaboration, exchange and networking. It was great to...
In the beginning of July 2023 I travelled across the Netherlands to participate in a summer school course at Radboud University in Nijmegen on transformations and transformative change in the sustainability field. Nearly a year into my PhD this was my first summer school and I was looking forward to deepen my knowledge on transformations...
In early July 2023, I travelled to the wineries of South Styria, in Austria, to attend the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE) 2023 Summer School, organised by the University of Graz at the Castle Seggau in the town of Leibnitz. The theme of the school was Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and...
From June 22nd to 24th, I had the opportunity to present some of our work on the Coastal Regional economy Agent-Based (CRAB) model, developed by Alessandro Taberna, at the 26th Annual Workshop on Economic Science with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents (WEHIA). This year’s workshop took place at the University of Primorska in Koper, Slovenia.
Every year, the Latin American Student Society of TU Delft (LATITUD) organizes the “Latin American Researchers Day”. Two Latin American countries are hosted during this event, meaning that TU Delft master students from those nationalities get to organize the event. They invite TU Delft researchers from those countries to give talks, as well as the...
In the first week of December 2022, I traveled to Florida in the United States to attend the Society of Risk Analysis’ annual conference. The societies’ journal- the Journal of Risk Analysis – has been one of the most influential publications that I have read regularly over the course of my PhD. While this was...
In the summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to participate in the Young Summer Scientist Program (YSSP) held at the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). Founded in 1972 to promote East-West scientific cooperation during the Cold War, IIASA has been hosting the YSSP program since the early 80’s in its home: the...
How do behavioral biases, heterogeneity, and social interactions affect the diffusion of adaptation actions against flooding among households? What are the distributional and indirect economic consequences of such bottom-up actions? These are some research questions I tackled during my presentation at the Social Simulation Conference 2022, Milan, where I had the opportunity to present some...
