Audrey Harnagel (Rockefeller University) is a Graduate Fellow in the field of Neuroscience (funding guaranteed through 2023) at the Rockefeller University. Her research focuses on constructing data-driven agent based models of scientific communities. She is particularly interested in building models to inform policy interventions and institutional design. She began this work as an undergraduate working with Dr. Michael Weisberg while studying Philosophy and Biochemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. She continued this study while earning her MPhil at the University of Cambridge, where she used bibliometric information from scientific publications to build an empirically-driven model of science funding systems. Now, as a PhD student, she brings her first-hand experience from her neuroscience lab to bear in modeling scientific communities. Her ongoing projects include developing a methodology for empirically calibrating and validating highly abstracted agent based models, and interpreting model results, especially as they relate to policy interventions.
