Wouter Vermeer

My main interests lie in the field of network analysis, diffusion modeling and data science. Taking a network perspective and considering how this lens helps to understand the process of interaction and its consequent outcomes is what drives my curiosity. I love using agent based modeling approaches to gain insights in various fields, ranging from epidemiology to sociology and marketing.
