Vitor Hirata Sanches

I am a PhD student at the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University (ANU). My research focuses on developing models of socio-ecological systems. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, I integrate computational and mathematical tools with social and biological knowledge to address environmental challenges. In my PhD, I am developing the concept of resilience as pathway diversity to operationalize resilience and support decision-making in water management. Before joining ANU, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and a Master’s degree in Complex Systems Modeling from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. I have previously worked with agricultural, forestry, and water systems, utilizing dynamic systems models, agent-based modeling, evolutionary game theory, and social network analysis.
