Research summary
AI-generated

Alexander J. Stewart studies how social behaviors, beliefs, and cooperation evolve using mathematical and computational models drawn from evolutionary game theory. Recent work examines topics such as online political polarization, the spread of misinformation, the emergence of stereotyping, and social identity, alongside some research applying similar evolutionary modeling to biological systems like immune defenses and prion dynamics. The overall approach connects social science questions with formal models of evolutionary and population dynamics.
