Agent based modelling – what is it and what can it do for us?
Manage episode 378810824 series 3493343
Our latest Hutton Highlights podcast takes a delve into the world of computer simulation. We recorded this episode during the European Social Simulation Association Summer School in Social Simulation. The week-long event at the end of August saw people from all over the world come to our at our Craigiebuckler campus in Aberdeen to look at how an advanced method of computer simulation called agent-based modelling can be used to tackle problems from climate change and energy to health and rewilding.
Interviewer:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer
Guests:
Gary Polhill, senior research scientist at The James Hutton Institute and lead organiser of the European Social Simulation Association Summer School.
Connor Lovell, an ecologist doing a PhD into rewilding and ecosystem processes at the institute of Zoology at King’s College London.
Mariëlle Rietkerk from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Marielle is doing a PhD in the energy transition.
Dr Anu Mishra is working for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the US in the Institute for Disease Modelling as a senior research scientist. She has a background as a biostatistition.
Ryu Koide is a senior researcher at the National Institute for Environmental Studies.
