Research interests

I am interested in building computational models of both social processes and human cognition. Through social simulations I investigate several sophisticated social phenomena such as cooperation and reciprocity. More recently, I am developing a multiagent system in which each agent has to model other agents in the system in terms of the extent and depth of their knowledge in a particular concept. I am a member of Multiagent Systems Research Group which is advised by Pinar Yolum.

Here you can find more about my current research activities.
