Vadim Sokolov works on building robust solutions for large scale complex systems analysis, at the interface of simulation-based modeling and statistics. This involves developing new methodologies that rely on agent-based modeling, Bayesian analysis of time series data, design of computational experiments and development of open-source software that implements those methodologies. Inspired by an interest in urban systems, he co-developed mobility simulator called "Polaris" which is currently used for large scale transportation networks analysis by both local and federal governments.
