About
Generally my interests are broad but interrelated. My research program concerns the stability of social systems from an evolutionary/economic perspective. More specifically, I'm interested in how social groups maintain stability and the evolutionary variables that contribute to their stability/instability, particularly focusing on new religious movement ritual stability and socio-economic variables concerning sectarian violence. I hope to model these variables and their related cognitive mechanisms to create more accurate social artificial intelligence for the modeling of complex social environments.
