Nimat Ullah

Nimat Ullah is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Science, Department of Computer Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research employs computational modeling to study psychological phenomena, particularly emotion regulation, cognitive control, and behavioral change mechanisms. He completed his PhD in 2022 with a thesis on computational modeling of emotion and desire regulation.

Research Focus: Dr. Ullah specializes in developing adaptive network models to understand human behavior dynamics. His work integrates computer science with psychology and neuroscience, exploring:

• Computational frameworks for emotion/desire regulation
• Neurocognitive correlates of decision-making under stress
• Behavior change techniques through cognitive modeling
• Age/gender differences in psychological strategies
• Dynamic adaptation in cognitive control systems

Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2019-2022) demonstrate consistent focus on computational psychology, with increasing complexity in network modeling approaches. Dominant themes include adaptive emotion regulation strategies, cognitive control restoration, and computational analysis of behavioral interventions.

Teaching: Dr. Ullah instructs courses including:

• Dynamic Modelling for Human-Centered Systems
• Intelligent Systems
• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
• Master Project AI
• Project Socially Aware Computing
