I am a physicist by formation and did my PhD in the field of cosmological numerical simulations. After that I switched fields and I centered my efforts in the application of game theory to social systems. I studied the emergence of moral codes and action rules in a reputation-based model and analyzed the emergence of intolerance under economic stress. Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher at VUB in Brussels where we are covering different topics: common pool resource games, collective risk problems, effect of commitments, and other social mechanisms. My main hobby is outdoor activities, especially mountaineering.
