Complex Systems

Complex systems such as metabolic pathways, ecosystems, the Internet, or human societies are comprised of large numbers of components that interact according to rules that change over time and that are unlikely to be well understood. The connectivity patterns of the components are plastic, and roles are fluid. And these systems are exposed to large endogenous and exogenous shocks, preventing equilibrium formation.

Our faculty studying complex systems seek to answer some of today's most elusive and fascinating scientific questions.
