Iza Romanowska is an AIAS-COFUND Fellow at the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) and affiliated with the Centre for Urban Network Evolutions (UrbNet) at Aarhus University. 

Iza Romanowska’s area of research is agent-based modelling (ABM), archaeology and complexity science. As a complexity scientist, Iza works on the interface between social sciences and computer science having originally trained and worked as a prehistoric archaeologist before switching to computer-based research. She specializes in agent-based modelling which is a simulation technique she uses for various research questions: from mobility in prehistoric cities, the first Out-of-Africa human dispersal, to large-scale economic interactions across the Roman Mediterranean and real-time pedestrian flows in modern sports venues.
