Research Interests: Combines human ecology, complex adaptive systems, and climate dynamics to study long-term interactions between societies and environments. Key projects include MALTHUS (simulating preindustrial societies), AI-powered museum microscopy, and digital reconstruction of ancient human systems.
Article Trends: His work integrates computational methods (machine learning, agent-based modeling) with paleoclimatology, focusing on climate-society feedbacks, land-use history, and sustainability lessons from ancient civilizations.
Labs & Collaborations: Leads a lab at the Florida Museum, mentoring researchers in computer science, data science, and anthropology. Collaborates with global institutions on projects spanning Mediterranean agroecosystems, Neolithic climate adaptation, and urban sustainability.
