About
I'm interested in social simulations using agent-based modelling. How I can use this technique to gain insight on housing policy and the changing housing market is the focus of my research.
My original work is based on a case study in the metropolitan city of Leeds, UK. I am presently applying a similar methodology to case studies in the Caribbean.
