Alexey Voinov (PhD) is Professor of Spatio-Temporal Systems Modeling for Sustainability Science at the University of Twente Faculty for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC). Prior to that he was coordinating the Chesapeake Research Consortium Community Modeling Program, and was also Principle Research Scientist at John's Hopkins University. He has spent some time with the AAAS Science and Technology Fellowship program working with the Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources. Before that he was with the Institute for Ecological Economics, first at Univ. of Maryland, and, later - Univ. of Vermont, working on integrated studies of ecological and human dynamics and sustainability sciences. He has his MSc and PhD from Moscow State University, Russia. His academic and teaching interests evolve around spatial dynamic modeling of ecosystems and sustainability science in application to decision support and policy making. In particular he is interested in integrated modeling and participatory modeling, integrated assessment, systems analysis in ecology and economics, energy and natural resources, with applications in watershed management, agroecology, energy policy. He is a keen advocate of stakeholder involvement in modeling and decision making. Dr. Voinov is Editor of the Journal for Environmental Modeling and Software and vice-president of the International Environmental Modeling and Software Society. He wrote a book on "Systems Science and Modeling for Ecological Economics" (Academic Press/Elsevier). He is co-PI of the Participatory Modelling pursuit funded by SESYNC See also http://www.likbez.com/AV or https://www.itc.nl/resumes/Voinov
