Summary
I am a cognitive/evolutionary anthropologist with a particular interest in computational science. I am interested in particular to contemporary cultural phenomena, and I use a naturalistic, quantitative, and evolutionary approach with different methodologies, especially individual-based models and quantitative analysis of large-scale data.
I recently wrote a book for Oxford University Press: Cultural evolution in the digital age.
