Summary
Arnaud Grignard is a researcher and computer scientist with 11+ years applying agent-based modelling, information visualization and tangible interfaces to urban and environmental decision-making. He holds an engineering degree from CPE Lyon and a PhD from UPMC, and has driven evidence- and data-driven simulations as a Research Scientist and affiliate in the MIT Media Lab’s City Science group. A principal developer of the GAMA Platform, he specializes in real-time “agent-based visualization” and tangible CityScope deployments that make complex urban policies legible to stakeholders. His work bridges academia, international agencies and industry—translating models into participatory tools used by UN bodies, consultancies and architecture firms. Currently based in Lyon and working on sustainable development modelling at IRD, he combines rigorous simulation methods with hands-on tools for co-constructed, multidisciplinary urban planning.
