I am a Master of Science student in Sociology and Social Research at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I specialize in a field that combines game theory and network analysis to study how macro-level social phenomena (efficiency, inequality, the division of labor…) emerge from rational individual behavior. My thesis project concerns the coevolution of behavior and social networks in situations where both cooperation and coordination present a social dilemma.
I come from Bulgaria but I have spent seven years studying and working in the United States (I have lived in Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and New York). My undergraduate education was in Architecture and although I always thought of my switch to Sociology as a path dependency story, I have recently started to admit it to myself that it may have something to do with a secret desire to build artificial societies! In any case, my interest in complex systems and the Santa Fe Institute started with Mitchell Waldrop’s “bible” and I am truly excited at this opportunity to be part of SFI’s interdisciplinary environment. I look forward to meeting you all!
