From Santa Fe Institute Events Wiki
I'm an Omidyar Fellow at the Institute; I did Mathematical Physics ("Part III") at Cambridge, and then a Ph.D. in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton in 2005, and have done research at the University of Chicago and University of Tokyo. Here at SFI I think a great deal about how combinatoric and dynamical methods developed for physical systems might help to (on the one hand) analyze and (on the other hand) explain biological and social systems. I've worked with a range of folks on topics in the empirics of complex systems and the profound question of computation in natural systems.
