My background is in software engineering, data science and quantitative archaeology. I am holding a Master’s degree in archaeology from University of Tartu, Estonia. In the DHH-PhD-project I am combining my skills in formulating theories as models. I search quantitative ways for validating the models to existing theory, stylized fact and data. I explore theoretical deductions coming from the models with building new research hypothesis on human behaviour and residential choice.
Research Interests
- Agent-based models
- Point process models
