    Modeling Homeowners Post-flood Reconstruction Decisions

    Posted on Monday 9 December 2019 by Unknown

    In the past we have developed agent-based models to explore a wide variety of applications and even to explored at humanitarian assistance after a natural disaster, however we have not explored how people might decide to rebuild or not after a natural …

    Modeling Society Reacting to a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction Event

    Posted on Monday 1 July 2019 by Unknown

    Over the last couple of years we have been working on generating synthetic human populations with realistic social networks with respect to the New York mega-city and surrounding region. This is being done for a variety of modeling applications such a…
