PhD candidate Delft University of Technology | transformational adaptation to climate change | social tipping points | agent-based simulation
I just presented at the #SRA-E Benelux meeting on how social influence and norms can be a leaver for the widespread uptake of private climate change adaptation. Thanks for the great discussions, food, and sessions.

Interested in #TippingPoints in social simulation? Check out our poster (with @jakkerman.bsky.social and @tatianafilatova.bsky.social ) today at #ssc2025. We propose a procedure for how to detect tipping in (social) simulation data.

Today I presented at #SSC2025 on the role of social norms and interactions for transformational climate change adaptation of households. Reach out if you want to know more!

1/4 Just published our RofASSS piece on modeling deep structural change in agent-based simulation! 🧵
Our ESSA Special Interest Group on Modelling Transformative Change (@thorid.bsky.social, @Nicholas Roxburgh & me) ran a workshop at Social Simulation Fest 2025.

Understanding the underlying mechanisms of farmers’ adaptation to #CC is paramount to survive climate-induced hazards.

@thorid.bsky.social, @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, and I show how to extract them from peer reviewed articles using #NLP. 👇🏽

Incremental and transformational climate change adaptation factors in agriculture worldwide: A comparative analysis using natural language processing
Climate change is projected to adversely affect agriculture worldwide. This requires farmers to adapt incrementally already early in the twenty-first century, and to pursue transformational adaptation...

Check out this work from our team with @sof14g1l.bsky.social @jakkerman.bsky.social and @tatianafilatova.bsky.social! And my first co-authored publication :)
🚨Publication alert!

In this work, @sc3team.bsky.social used #NLP algorithms to provide insights into the barriers and drivers of adaptation to #floods and #SLR. We show that the interplay between individuals, communities, and governments is key for effective adaptation action.

It’s time to introduce the Center for Social Complexity of Climate Change (SC3 www.sc3.center). We work on climate change and how different agents interact in this context. Follow us to learn about the relationship between #ClimateChange and #Society and #Economy. This is the team ⬇️

🚨Working Paper Alert!

In this work, me, @thorid.bsky.social, @joosakkerman.bsky.social, & @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, analyze the associations between different #climatechange adaptations and actors' constraints in adaptation to climate-induced #floods and #sea-level-rise.

🚨 Working paper alert! 🚨

In our last work, @thorid.bsky.social, @tatianafilatova.bsky.social, and I performed a #NLP Literature Review of the factors associated with farmers' incremental and transformational adaptation to #ClimateChange ! 👩‍🌾🌱🌎

We're happy to receive your feedback!
