In this episode of The Flux, host John Cordier, CEO of Epistemix, sits down with Paul Amoruso to explore his unexpected journey into the world of agent-based modeling (ABM). What started as a course recommendation turned into a passion for understanding complex systems and using data to drive better decisions.
Paul shares insights from his academic path, the value of interdisciplinary collaboration, and why ABMs foster explainability in research. He also discusses how modeling could reshape fields like education and improve knowledge diffusion. Plus, in our What the Flux moment, Paul reflects on how we might have transformed traditional learning methods if we had embraced active learning sooner.
Tune in for an engaging conversation on curiosity, computational social science, and the power of modeling to inform the future.
