This last academic year the Computational Social Science Program here at Mason had a bumper crop of graduates both at the PhD and masters level.
In the picture are newly hooded Drs Palmer, Rouly and Magallanes. Along with the not so new Drs Axtell, Crooks and Cioffi. |
Our recent PhD graduates included:
- Chris Shin whose dissertation was entitled “An Essay on Micro Heterogeneity and the Evolution of Inequality.”
- Steve Scott whose dissertation was entitled “Computational Modeling For Marine Resource Management.”
- David Masad whose dissertation was entitled “Agents In Conflict: Comparative Agent-Based Modeling Of Inter- National Crises And Conflicts”
- Holly Russo whose dissertation was entitled “Explaining Box Office Performance From the Bottom Up: Data, Theories and Models”
- Hugh McFarlane whose dissertation was entitled “An Agent Based Model of Community Authority Structure Resilience.”
- Tom Dover whose dissertation was entitled “Implementing a Complex Social Simulation of the Violent Offending Process: The Promise of a Synthetic Offender.”
- Cristina Metgher whose dissertation was entitled "A Computational Social Science Approach to the Social Determinants of Cancer."
- Jose Magallanes whose dissertation was entitled “Climate Change And The Potential For Conflict And Extreme Migration In The Andes: A Computational Approach For Interdisciplinary Modeling And Anticipatory Policy-Making”
- Nathan Palmer whose dissertation was entitled"Individual and Social Learning: Bounded Rationality from First Principles"
- Chris Rouly whose dissertation was entitled "Towards Emergent Social Complexity"

Along with our PhD graduates we also had a number of Masters students graduate in the MAIS with a Concentration in Computational Social Science Program. Well done to Rui Zhang, Justin Brandenburg, Matthew Oldham, Stefan McCabe, Craig Brown and Stefani Fournier.
