Research
Our multidisciplinary team consists of physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists and experts from life sciences and economics.Our aim is to contribute to an understanding of the nature of complex adaptive systems and to use our insights for applications in life sciences, social science and economics. We maintain close relations to the
Our recent research topics include:
| Artificial Cell | We simulate cells in silico to understand their dynamical stability, modes of operation and transitions to pathologic states. |
|---|---|
| Evolution | We search for physical principles and mathematical descriptions of evolution-systems. These range from biological evolution to Schumpeterian economics. |
| Genomics | We reverse-engineer genetic regulatory networks from omics data. |
| Networks | We analyze, understand and manage network formation dynamics and the co-evolution of network structure and its function. |
| Econophysics | We understand economy as macroscopic dynamical systems which emerge from microscopically interacting agents. |
| Sociophysics | We measure and model the dynamics of social human interactions and aggregate phenomena. |
| Statistical Physics | We fight for an understanding of strongly correlated statistical systems. |
| Cognitive Neuroscience | We use novel statistical tools toward unbiased approaches to functional brain imaging. |
