Dr. Yael Artzy-Randrup
"My approach often includes a combination of Mathematical Models and Computational Agent-Based Stochastic Simulations to represent different levels of system organization, as well as tools from Network Theory and Nonlinear Dynamics, while my questions often relate to unsoled queries in the universe of Complex Systems."

Technical aspects
Bottom-up approach
Developing a system-level framework
Interactions between layers of government, industry, civil society, and other stakeholders
Potential conflicts, tradeoffs, and synergies across many scales
Developing decision-support methods
Notions pf resilience in a low-carbon energy system
Requirements (background)
System thinking
Dynamic modelling
Should be familiar with Complex adaptative systems
Stakeholder engagement
Professional command of English, in terms of speaking, reading and writing, and an excellent communicator with scientists across other disciplines and stakeholders
Capable and interested in initiating connections with other associates of the Polder Centre, like organizing periodic meetings, pleasant to work with and to exchange information with
Activities
Quantitative and qualitative research on dynamical systems approaches to the energy transition
Informe the research and develop it in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders in energy transition
Mathematical modelling and computational simulation
Help coordinate events in the Polder Center, to participate in activities such as brainstorming with the team on a new interdisciplinary MSc program in Complex Systems & Policy, and to take an active role in contributing to the construction of the Climate, Sustainability, Behavior and Policy section of the Polder Center.
Questions
What are the main stakeholders in energy transition?
What are the main challenges in modelling energy transition
What are the main requirements for a model for energy transition
Spatial distribution
Stakeholder participation - not only agent-based model
Mapping of sensitive environmental aspects
Mapping of vulnerable population
Sensitivity analysis of technologies learning curves and difusion (Bass model)

Otimization technics
Agent based modelling
Bottom-up
Complex adaptive systems (CAS)
Complex adaptive systems (CAS) are a type of system that is characterized by its ability to self-organize, adapt, and evolve in response to changes in its environment. These systems are made up of a large number of interacting components or agents, which can be simple or complex, and operate according to simple rules.
Stakeholder engagment
Interview
Presentation of around 5-10 minutes on a project you recently conducted
It does not need to be directly related to the topic of the psotdoc
We are interested in hearing how you have applied your technical skills and conceptual approaches in earlier projects.
The second part will be devoted to the interview on the position itself. Each part should take around 15-20 minutes
