Hessa Joseph is a knowledgeable, passionate and motivated legal writer who lives and breathes law. She can assist you with all types of academic queries. She has a keen focus on her career, as she completed her qualification from the London School of Economics, then she worked as a lawyer, and now she also offers law assignment writing service part-time, as she knows how complex it is for some students to manage everything. Whether you need help with law coursework or any other types of assignments, she is always ready to assist you. She is punctual, so you won’t have to worry about the deadline.

I am a computational archaeologist and Professor of Anthropology at San Diego State University, where I direct the Computational Archaeology Laboratory. My research integrates geospatial analysis, agent-based and simulation modeling, and complex adaptive systems theory to investigate long-term human–environment interactions, with particular attention to socio-environmental change associated with early farming and herding in Mediterranean and other semi-arid landscapes. I have conducted field and modeling research in regions including Italy, Jordan, and Central Asia, and my work spans landscape archaeology, land-use dynamics, and environmental modeling. I have been a member of the CoMSES community for well over a decade and have contributed multiple models to the Computational Model Library, several of which have undergone formal peer review. In addition to research, I regularly teach with agent-based models at undergraduate and graduate levels and use CoMSES models as both research and pedagogical resources. I am committed to open, reproducible, and theoretically informed computational modeling and to strengthening the role of peer-reviewed models as durable scholarly contributions.

Amineh Ghorbani is an assistant professor at the Engineering Systems and Services Department, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. She is also an affiliated member of the “Institutions for Collective Action” at Utrecht University. She obtained her M.Sc. in Computer Science (Artificial intelligence) from University of Tehran (Iran) (2009, honours) and her PhD from Delft University of Technology (2013, cum laude).

During her PhD, Amineh developed a meta-model for agent-based modelling, called MAIA, which describes various concepts and relations in a socio-technical system. This modelling perspective helped her develop a modelling paradigm that she refers to as institutional modelling.

Her current area of research is understanding the emergence and dynamics of institutions (set of rule organizing human society) using modelling. She is interested in how bottom-up collective action emerges and how institutions emergence and change within communities.

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Ecology, Evolution and Behavior department at the University of Minnesota. My research involves using agent-based models combined with lab and field research to test a broad range of hypotheses in biology. I am currently developing an agent-based model of animal cell systems to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms that influence cell behavior. For my PhD work, I created a model, B3GET, which simulates the evolution of virtual primates to better understand the relationships between growth and development, life history and reproductive strategies, mating strategies, foraging strategies, and how ecological factors drive these relationships. I have also conducted fieldwork to inform the modeled behavior of these virtual organisms. Here I am pictured with an adult male gelada in Ethiopia!

I’m am computational social scientist and data scientist with a background in political communication and social media research that specialises in agent-based simulation, social network analysis and the computational study of social media behaviour.
For the last three years, I was a Research Associate in Computational Social Science at Durham University designing and evaluating algorithms for realistic artificial social networks in Julia by creating a taxonomy of existing generator papers, accessible as an interactive, open-access database (RShiny dashboard), in addition to exploring the interdependencies of social network’s structural properties.
For my PhD in Politics at Glasgow University (2023) I designed and implemented an agent-based model of online polarisation and offline protest mobilisation, applied to Catalonia’s independence movement in Spain.
