Stéphane Thanassekos

Stéphane Thanassekos



Stéphane Thanassekos’ primary research interest is the modelling of early life of fish. He is currently working with an individual-based model calibrated for larval Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in two Arctic polynyas (Northeast and North water). The temperature and prey fields experienced by modelled larvae throughout their lives are prescribed by their hatch dates. He developed a new method of model sub-sampling reproducing the low resolution of sampling at sea which drastically improves the model validation. This method can be applied to any model designed to reproduce limited observations of any organisms that can be aged. By increasing the precision in the comparison between model outputs and observations, this method indicates which improvements can be made in the model to increase its predictive power. Stephane is interested in applying this technique to other ecologically important polar fish species (e.g. Pleuragramma antarcticum, subject of his master thesis) or to fisheries management, for economically important fish species or crustacean larvae. He also has experience in population dynamics models and ecosystem models, and he is interested in coupling any IBM larval model to a prey dynamics sub-model.

This work was accomplished by using agent-based models informed via empirical and theoretical social network analysis, while the agents themselves were powered by AI-based planning and reasoning algorithms. He has continued his work in modeling organizational change, as well as broader questions of evolution of social networks and social structure and applied SNA. Empirical/applied projects included studying campaign finance and its influence on election outcomes, identification of influential individual in online social networks (e.g. Twitter), and study of emergent social-semantic systems (i.e. folksonomies and folk-ontologies) as systems of norms of understanding and participation.
