Presentation
I am an Associate Senior Lecturer (Biträdande Lektor) and Associate Professor (Docent) in Computer Science, with a focus on agent-based modelling, the use of AI in socio-technical systems, and the development of simulation-based decision and policy support. My research integrates computational methods with real-world applications in public health, mobility, and policy, with a focus on understanding and addressing the societal implications of AI and to support the development of responsible and impactful technologies.
I have led and contributed to interdisciplinary research projects where we degin computational models that enable stakeholders and policy actors to better understand complex dynamics of social systems and to anticipate the potential consequences of policy interventions and AI technologies. Through participatory approaches and social simulations, my research facilitates evidence-based decision-making in domains where digital technologies shape societal outcomes.
Research Interests
- Agent-based modeling and social simulation
- Decision and policy support systems
- Artificial intelligence in socio-technical contexts
- Participatory modeling and stakeholder engagement
- Governance and societal implications of digital technologies
- Smart mobility and transportation systems
Current Projects
- Agent-based Social Simulation of Organ Donation Policies (Role: PI, Funded by Crafoord Foundation)
- Realizing the Potential of Agent-Based Social Simulations (Role: Co-PI, Funded by WASP-HS
- Facilitators and barriers to the use of agent-based social simulation in organ donation (Role: PI, Funded by SciLifeLab.se)
