We are an interdisciplinary research team that on one hand carries out research in pure mathematics and on the other hand explores new approaches to complex systems in a wide range of domains, bringing in the spectrum of mathematical concepts and methods in novel ways.

Research topics

• Geometry, Analysis and Theoretical Physics

• Dynamical Systems and Network Analysis

• General Theory of Complex Systems

• Cognition and Neurosciences

• Theoretical and Mathematical Biology

• Economics and Social Sciences

• Philosophy, History of Science, Visual Arts

There exist many overlaps between these research topics, leading to much mutual stimulation. In particular, many group members participate in several topics.
