Fanqi Zeng is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Sociology, working on the FORESFA project and the CrimGov project.
His doctoral research in the Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol focused on investigating complex social and natural systems using both top-down (model-driven) and bottom-up (data-driven) methodologies, such as machine learning, agent-based modelling, network science, nonlinear dynamics and data science.
He is particularly interested in using interdisciplinary approaches to understand complex systems in our world, from micro to macro scales. His current research focuses on the impact and applications of AI, computational social science, and mixed-methods research. His work has been published in leading journals, including Nature Cities and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, among others.
Research areas: AI, governance, complex systems, public health, computational social science, data science, social network analysis, agent-based modelling, game theory
