Project Description
Agent-based models (ABMs) are widely used in describing spatiotemporal behavior in diverse biological systems. In most cases, ABM parameters are handpicked to qualitatively describe the biological system. This makes it difficult to generate detailed predictions using ABMs. We are developing an AI-driven framework in which AI tools generate code from simple instructions. We will benchmark the AI-generated codes with the codes we have already generated using SPPARKS (https://spparks.github.io/).
Additional Information
We encourage undergraduate students to take leadership roles in addition to executing assigned tasks. Previous undergraduate students have published first author manuscripts in leading journals.

Required Applicant Information
CV and a brief cover letter
Required or Desired Skills
The student should be able to use different AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, GEMINI) to generate Python codes that can be run on our server. The SPPARKS codes are written using C++, so the student is expected to be proficient in C++ and Python.
