Postdoctoral researcher at Institute of Economics, Polish Academy of Sciences and in Macroprudential Research Division at National Bank of Poland. She graduated in Mathematics (Jagiellonian University, Poland) and in Economics (University of Alcala, Spain). In 2017 she obtained Fulbright Advanced Research Award. In the United States, she carried out research on systemic risk and complex systems. Her doctoral dissertation was about the measurement and modeling of systemic risk using simulation methods and complex systems approach (the results to be published by Palgrave Macmillan US). Previously, she gained experience on agent-based modeling while working with Juan Luis Santos on the European Commission FP 7 MOSIPS project (http://www.mosips.eu/).

Anna Pagani is an architect and doctoral researcher under the supervision of Prof. Claudia R. Binder in the interdisciplinary laboratory for Human-Environment Relations in Urban Systems (HERUS) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland. In her PhD, she works closely with tenants, housing providers and practitioners to provide housing that is not only environmentally but also socioculturally sustainable.

I am Cheick Amed Diloma Gabriel Traoré, holding a PhD in Multi-Agent System Modeling from Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), Senegal. My doctoral research focused on formalizing and simulating Sahelian transhumance as a complex adaptive system. Leveraging mathematical and computational techniques, I developed agent-based models to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of transhumant herds, considering factors such as herd behavior, environmental conditions, and socio-economic pressures.

My background includes a Master’s and Bachelor’s in Mathematics from the University of Nazi Boni, Burkina Faso, where I developed a rectangular mesh for image processing and applied the Hough transform to detect discrete lines. My studies at the University of Nazi Boni were funded by the Burkinabe government.
For my PhD, I conducted extensive fieldwork in Senegal, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to gather data on transhumant practices. Using this data, I developed a multi-objective optimization framework to model herd movement decisions. Furthermore, I created a real-time monitoring system for transhumant herds based on discrete mathematics. My PhD research was funded by the CaSSECS project (Carbon Sequestration and Sustainable Ecosystem Services in the Sahel).
