Joshua M. Epstein

Joshua M. Epstein is a scientist known for his work in modeling complex systems, particularly in epidemiology and social behavior. He uses computer simulations to study how diseases spread or how social phenomena, like cooperation or conflict, evolve within communities. His approach helps policymakers anticipate outcomes of various strategies, such as public health interventions. By capturing individual behaviors and interactions, Epstein’s models provide insights into large-scale patterns emerging from small-scale actions, aiding in designing effective policies and understanding the dynamics of human systems.
