About
Tom Lenaerts is a leading figure in artificial life, evolutionary dynamics, and computational social science. His work bridges biology and computer science, exploring how cooperation, fairness, and social norms emerge in both natural and artificial systems. He has made foundational contributions to understanding the evolution of cooperation through game theory and agent-based modeling, particularly in structured populations. With over 3,000 citations, his research has shaped how we model the interplay between individual behavior and collective outcomes. Notably, he co-organized the 20th anniversary special issue of the European Conference on Artificial Life (ECAL), reflecting his deep commitment to the field. Lenaerts also investigates the evolution of fairness and moral cognition, using computational models to test hypotheses about human sociality. His work has been published in top venues like *Nature Communications* and *Proceedings of the Royal Society B*, and he has received prestigious grants, including an ERC Starting Grant. For students and researchers, Lenaerts exemplifies how computational approaches can illuminate the fundamental principles of life and society.
