We focus on how information and representation bridges our understanding
of living and adaptive systems, aiming to understand, predict, and intervene.
Multifarious perspective
A broad perspective is necessary to find and understand the origins of the mathematical laws of life. We study
examples including the brain, ecosystems, armed conflict, political institutions, and business firms.
We are inspired by the beautiful, the ominous, and always fascinating patterns swirling around in biological
and social systems. We are particularly interested in when the two collide: how
does our understanding of biological nature help us understand social complexity and vice
versa.
