Hi everyone!!! I'm María. Nice to meet you!


''Personal description''

María Pereda is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Burgos, Spain.  She is nowadays working in a research project entitled “Simulating the past to understand human behavior”. This a multi-disciplinary project where they work together engineers, sociologists and anthropologists to develop agent based model simulation to explore the influence of certain particular behaviors of prehistoric societies in the evolution and resilience of cooperation, some of them related to social dilemmas.
She did graduate studies in Industrial Engineering, specialized in Electronics (2006) and Industrial Organisation Engineering (2008) at University of Burgos, Spain. She did M.Sc. studies in Research in Process Systems Engineering (2010) at the University of Valladolid, Spain. She received her Ph.D. in Process Systems Engineering (2014) from the University of Valladolid.
Her most recent research focuses on agent-based modelling, machine learning and optimization techniques.

''What are your main interests? Feel free to include a "pie in the sky" big idea!
Do you have any possible projects in mind for the CSSS?''

Recently Ive been studing Network Theory and I am very hooked to it. So I have some feelings that I want to work on something network related in the school. 

''What sort of expertise can you bring to the group?''

My main area of expertise is agent-based modelling, so I could (hopefully) help you dear colleagues with some issues related to the modelling process. Moreover, I like statistics and I am always available to discuss (this or whatever topic you wanna).

What do you hope to get out of the CSSS?

I want to open my mind to other disciplines, to enlarge my knowledge of complexity, and (why not?) to have an idea to work on during and after the school.
