Timo Szczepanska

Timo Szczepanska is a postdoctoral researcher at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, affiliated with the Norwegian College of Fishery Science. With expertise in computational modeling and social simulation, Szczepanska contributes to interdisciplinary research bridging technology, environmental science, and urban systems.

• Current member of the CRAFT research group
• Active participant in the FUTURES4Fish project
• Published extensively in journals like JASSS and Frontiers in Marine Science

Research Focus: Szczepanska's work explores urban complexity through participatory simulations, develops agent-based models for human behavior analysis, and investigates climate change impacts on fisheries. Key methodological contributions include model reimplementations and integrating creative writing with future scenario planning.

Recent Article Trends: Recent publications demonstrate a dual focus on decarbonisation strategies for urban mobility and innovative approaches to fisheries governance under climate change. Methodologically, Szczepanska combines agent-based modeling with game design and creative worldbuilding across multiple domains.

Collaborative Networks: Collaborates with international researchers across institutions including Radboud University, Potsdam University of Applied Sciences, and various European research groups. Specializes in translating complex systems into interactive pedagogical tools and policy-relevant simulations.

Technical Expertise: Proficient in computational platforms like NetLogo and Unity, with particular emphasis on model documentation, validation, and interdisciplinary translation of technological futures.
