Andreas is a computational archaeologist with a strong background in Humanities and Social Sciences. He is born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, Greek by family, and had his entire higher education in Barcelona, Spain. He has a PhD in Archaeology by the University of Barcelona, a MA in Prehistory, a BA in Sociology and a BA in Humanities by the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Andreas specialises in modelling and simulation of socio-environmental systems in the past. His main concern is to tackle meaningful theoretical questions about human behaviour and social institutions and their role in the biosphere, as documented by history and archaeology. His research focuses specifically on how social behaviour reflects long-term historical processes, especially those concerning food systems in past small-scale societies. He has ten years of experience with simulation modelling, particularly agent-based modelling, and computational data analysis in archaeology. When using simulation, he funnelled the contributions of interdisciplinary teams into the creation of formal models and developed part, or the entirety of the computer code required. With a combination of autonomous and collaborative work, he developed, implemented, or worked with many simulation models, discussing with domain-expert researchers and broader audiences their implications in light of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic questions and data.
