The Complex Systems Interdisciplinary Group (GISC) is a team of over 20 researchers actively engaged in a wide variety of research topics in statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, theoretical biology, evolution, social and economic systems, and game theory.
Seven interconnected lines of inquiry, united by the language of complex systems.
Phase transitions, pattern formation and the collective dynamics of systems driven far from equilibrium.
Surface growth, thin films, interfaces and the emergence of order at the nanoscale.
Wetting, capillarity and fluid adsorption on micro- and nano-structured substrates.
Evolutionary dynamics, fitness landscapes and the mathematics of ecological systems.
Agent-based models, social dynamics, network science and evolutionary game theory.
Morphogenesis, biological pattern formation and quantitative models of living systems.
Soft matter, liquid crystals, complex fluids and the physics of granular materials.
GISC seminars held in 2026
