Welcome!
Questions I've been asking: How will a fully urbanized world going to look like? Will it bring prosperity? Will it bring equity? Will it bring stability and safety? Can we predict where, how and when? Can we develop quantitative formalisms to understand and predict economic development, technological diversification, innovation and crime in cities? Can we integrate the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Cultural Evolution and Complex Systems Science to reach better understandings of socioeconomic systems?
Here are my Resume and CV.

Brief explanation of what I do, following the challenge at http://splasho.com/upgoer5/ about explaining what I do using only the Ten Hundred most used words:
My work is about what happens when people come together. They work, study, play with each other and build new things. They also get sick, break things, and sometimes fight with each other. How many people do what they do? Why do some places have more people doing stuff than others? Why does the stuff that people do change from group to group?
I believe there is order behind what people do and where people choose to do it. That order, I believe, can be understood. Understanding that order can lead one to see what people can do in new situations. At the end, I believe one can use this understanding to make the world a better place. I study these questions using numbers and computers.
