Other activities

Szabolcs Számadó graduated at Eötvös University from biology and later earned his PhD in 2004. He
is a theoretical biologist, his main research interest is the relationship between the cost of signals and
honesty, which he investigated with a range of tools including game theory and individual basis
modeling. His research includes a broad range of topics from the evolution of cooperation to the
evolution of early human language. His latest interest is the role of reputation systems in the
maintenance of cooperation and role of communication in the role maintenance of reputation. Hey
published in top journals of the field (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Biological Reviews, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B). He is the leading editor of a recent special issue on reputation systems 'The language of cooperation: reputation and honest signalling' published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B.
