Research Interests

Zollmann's work employs mathematical and computer simulation models to analyze social behavior in humans and non-human animals. His research comprises two primary projects:

• Game-theoretic models of animal communication in contexts of partial conflict of interest (relevant to ecology, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of modeling).
• Analysis of scientific social structures using economic models to study how communication patterns and incentives influence scientific practice.
