Loops that Matter

My PhD project is to develop and test a new method for algorithmically determining loop dominance in system dynamics models. My goal is to make both the method and its outputs understandable to all system dynamicists in order to increase understanding of the determinants of model behavior. 

Main content

My PhD project is to develop and test a new method for algorithmically determining loop dominance in system dynamics models.

Why did you decide to do a PhD in system dynamics?

I decided to do a PhD in system dynamics at UiB to give me the intellectual resources I needed to develop my ideas on loop dominance, model analysis and visualization. The support and space to develop my ideas is what I need in order to be successful.

Short summary of PhD project

My PhD project is to develop and test a new method for algorithmically determining loop dominance in system dynamics models. 

My goal is to make both the method and its outputs understandable to all system dynamicists in order to increase understanding of the determinants of model behavior.
