Artem Kaznatcheev

Artem Kaznatcheev is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University in the Department of Mathematics and Department of Information and Computing Sciences within the Science faculty. His research bridges theoretical computer science and evolutionary biology to analyze biological and social systems through an algorithmic lens.

• Current role since January 2023
• Recruiting PhD students and postdocs
• Previously: James S. McDonnell postdoctoral fellow at University of Pennsylvania

His work focuses on:

• Computational complexity of evolution
• Evolutionary game theory
• Algorithmic biology
• Mathematical modeling of cancer dynamics
• Cultural evolution of science

Selected article trends show:

• Interdisciplinary integration of computer science and cancer biology
• Key themes: fitness landscapes, evolutionary games, treatment optimization
• 2021-2020 publications dominate
• Mathematical formalisms applied to biological and social phenomena

Scientific contributions include:

• James S. McDonnell Foundation Independent Postdoctoral Fellowship
• 2019 Genetics paper on computational complexity as evolutionary constraint
• 2017 Nature Ecology & Evolution study on fibroblast-drug interactions in cancer

Collaborative environments:

• Worked with Theory, Evolution and Games Group
• Previous affiliations: Oxford University, University of Pennsylvania, Moffitt Cancer Center, McGill University
• Developed teaching roles at Oriel College (Oxford)
