Social Network Analysis of Gobekli Tepe: Belief Propagation in 10th Millennium BC

Published in International Conference on Social Computing, Behavioral-Cultural Modeling, and Prediction and Behavior Representation in Modeling and Simulation, 2020

Utilizing agent-based modeling and social network analysis tools, this paper investigates the belief propagation to observe the emergence of leaders among the population and examines the network structure of the communities constructing Gobekli Tepe.

Capturing the Effects of Gentrification on Property Values: An Agent-Based Modeling Approach

Published in The Computational Social Science Society of Americas Conference, 2019

The proposed model is significant in its integration of ideas from complex systems theory which is operationalized within an agent-based model stylized on urban theories to study gentrification as a cause of increased in land values.

Modeling the Impact of Fake News on Citizens

Published in International Conference on Cognitive Modelling, 2018

We built a cognitive model of a citizen deciding what to believe when encountering election stories on social media, eventually developing an opinion and using motivated reasoning to help determine which stories are true.
