Patrik Christen

Professor of Applied Mathematics, Institute for Information Systems, FHNW
Associate Fellow, Institute for New Economic Thinking, University of Oxford

I am interested in the simulation of reality, especially with respect to programming, hardware, and human-computer interaction. Currently, I am working on parallel programming of agent-based economic models.
My past research includes computational biomechanics at Eindhoven University of Technology and ETH Zurich as well as mathematical biology at the University of Oxford.
