Network Dynamics

Network Dynamics

We aim towards a fundamental understanding of the structure and dynamics of complex networks in physics and biology as well as engineered and social networks. We focus on computation in and control of networked systems, particularly neural circuits and power grids; moreover, the inference of network structures as well as their optimal design constitute basic research questions. We often develop mathematical tools required for understanding these highly complex systems. The Network Dynamics team works on foundations and applications in the areas of computational neuroscience, computer science, statistical physics of disordered systems, artificial neural networks and robotics, and, more recently, gene evolution and power grids and, most recently, complex human interaction networks.
