Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Silverman is a Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow with nine years of post-PhD experience applying agent-based simulation and complexity science to public health challenges, supported by an NIHR Population Health Career Scientist Award through 2030. He brings a multidisciplinary background spanning psychology (BA, Penn State), computer science (PhD, Leeds), and international postdoctoral work in simulation and robotics at the University of Tokyo. Since 2017 he has led research that bridges AI/ML methods and social-science questions, translating complex systems thinking into practical population-health models. Previously he held academic roles in AI and interactive systems at Teesside and contributed to the CLC multidisciplinary complexity project at Southampton. Beyond academia he’s an avid strategist and community builder—running a roleplaying Discord and playing Chess, Go, and Shogi—which informs his interest in game-like, agent-based modeling paradigms. Colleagues value him for combining rigorous computational methods with a knack for making complex dynamics comprehensible to policy and public-health audiences.
