We search for the mathematical laws that govern life, spanning both biology and society.
Our objective
We focus on how information and representation bridges our understanding
of living and adaptive systems, aiming to leverage such understanding to predict and intervene.
Multifarious perspective
A broad perspective is crucial to understand where and why mathematical regularities occur. We search for such signatures in natural systems
and in human society including the brain, forests, political voting, and 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.
