I’m a Research Fellow at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Unit at the University of Glasgow, working on agent-based simulation approaches to complex public health issues. Currently I lead the Modelling Complex Systems workstream, which is a part of the Complexity in Health programme within the Unit.
Prior to this I was a Research Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Systems in the School of Computing at Teesside University. Before working at Teesside, I worked on the CLC Project at the University of Southampton, a multidisciplinary project which focuses on the application of complexity science approaches to the social science domain.
I received a BA with Honours in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University, and a PhD from the School of Computing at the University of Leeds. After my PhD, I worked as a JSPS Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo, conducting research in computer simulation and robotics. My email address is <Eric.Silverman@glasgow.ac.uk>
My research interests include:
- Complexity Science
- Evolutionary Virology
- Social Simulation
- Simulation of Health/Social Care Provision
- Epidemiological Modelling
- Artificial Life
- Philosophy of Mind/Cognitive Science
