Sara Saori Satake
PhD student in Agent-Based Modeling, Artificial Life and Multi-Agent Systems
About Me
Hello! I am currently a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Tsukuba, Japan.
I am a member of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Computation, and my research interests include stigmergy, emergent communication, collective behavior, and cognition.
To explore these topics, I use computational multi-agent simulations to study the emergence of complex behaviors and interactions.
