<p>Hi there, I am a postdoctoral researcher at <a href="https://seven.uva.nl/en">SEVEN</a>, the interdisciplinary climate institute of the University of Amsterdam. My <a href="https://fabiandablander.com/menu/papers.html">research</a> lies at the intersection of behavioural science, sustainability, and statistics. I aim to bridge methodological rigor with applied societal impact, focusing on identifying behavioural and policy-level interventions that can help societies stay within planetary boundaries.</p>

<p>Previously, I was based at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics and the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my PhD in the Department of Psychological Methods, where I worked on Bayesian hypothesis testing, causal inference from observational data, and early warning signals of tipping points.</p>

<p>Alongside my academic work, I am involved with <a href="https://polder.center/">Polder</a>, an initiative that brings complex systems thinking to the policymaking process. I am <a href="https://fabiandablander.com/menu/press.html">deeply concerned</a> about the <a href="https://fabiandablander.com/menu/climate.html">climate emergency</a> and used to be very active with Scientist Rebellion. I co-organize the annual <a href="https://acscc.nl">Amsterdam Complexity School on Climate Change</a> and have contributed to various initiatives using data science for social good, including co-founding <a href="https://correlaid.nl/">CorrelAid Nederland</a> and <a href="https://scienceversuscorona.com/">Science versus Corona</a>, and joining the <a href="https://www.dssgfellowship.org/">Data Science for Social Good Fellowship</a> at Carnegie Mellon University in 2022.</p>

<p>I greatly enjoy teaching and have given workshops on a variety of topics, including <a href="https://fabiandablander.com/assets/talks/Bayes-Tutorial-Santa-Fe.html">Bayesian statistics</a>, <a href="https://fabiandablander.com/assets/talks/Causal-Workshop-Max-Planck.html">causal inference</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6NtBz1q4ug">climate action</a>. I always strive to make the learning experience fun and engaging. If you want me to give a workshop on any of these topics, please get in touch.</p>

<!-- I began my academic journey in Graz, Austria, where I studied Psychology and Philosophy. Dissatisfied with both, I looked for a more formal way to study the human mind and behaviour and ended up in Tübingen, Germany, pursuing a Masters degree in Cognitive Science.

For my thesis, I stepped out the ivory tower academia can sometimes be and worked with a car company on evaluating artificial driver models in their traffic simulation. While that was fun, academia is fun too, and so I started a PhD at the Department of Psychological Methods, University of Amsterdam, in December 2017. Broadly speaking, I am working on topics related to Bayesian inference and testing, networks, causal inference, and dynamical systems.

Besides academic things, I am thinking about how we can utilize people's quantitative skills for the social good. To that end, I co-founded [CorrelAid Nederland](https://twitter.com/CorrelAidxNL), [Data & Strategies versus Corona](https://scienceversuscorona.com/), and was a [Data Science For Social Good Fellow](https://www.dssgfellowship.org/) at Carnegie Mellon University in 2022. I am also deeply concerned about the [climate emergency](https://fabiandablander.com/menu/climate.html) and [helped organize](https://www.folia.nl/international/151115/scientist-rebellion-organizes-climate-action-week-time-to-look-up) and [took part](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYFhadxD0eg) in the global Scientist Rebellion. You can find me [@fdabl](https://twitter.com/fdabl) or email me using my last name dot my first name at gmail dot com.-->
