Welp, I correctly predicted the (first) Event™️ to occur at a 90-day mark (yes, including the type of Event™️) by switching my approach from an optimization problem (no one was optimizing shit in that system😆) to a hybrid agent-based discrete event simulation (DES) with:
1. Three heterogeneous agents, each with a distinct decision architecture
2. Asymmetric information partitions
3. Continuous accumulator variables with stochastic threshold crossings
4. Event rates that are functions of both current state and path history
5. Exogenous scheduled events
6. Secret sauce™️

Stay fine-tuned for another update in 90 days.

Hi everyone,

I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

Hope to keep interacting with you all!
