Research Interests

• Complex systems: Complex dynamical networks, collective behaviors, nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, self-organization, multiscale phenomena, social systems, modeling, simulation and visualization of complex systems, complex systems education
• Artificial life: Self-replication, self-repair, cellular automata, artificial chemistry, swarm behaviors, artificial evolutionary systems, robustness and evolvability of artifacts, application of artificial life to media art
• Mathematical biology: Theoretical population/evolutionary biology, spatially distributed ecological or evolutionary models, multilevel selection, speciation
• Computer & information sciences: Automaton and formal languages, computation theory, information theory, parallel computation, nature-inspired computing

Research Projects

• Pattern formation in self-propelled particle swarms and its application to engineering design
• Evolutionary perspective on collective decision making, creativity, and innovation
• Generative network automata and their applications to the modeling and analysis of:
• Morphogenetic processes of biological/biomimetic networks (Wriggraph)
• Social networks
• Network reliability and security
• Complex systems education with interactive teaching tools
• Linking youth and community using Information Technology
• Artificial evolutionary systems built on deterministic cellular automata (evoloop / worms)
