Research
The Center for the Dynamics of Social Complexity advances research at the intersection of computation, culture, and complexity. Our faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators explore how human systems evolve, adapt, and transform across scales—from local communities to global networks. We also support cross-cutting projects on artificial intelligence, societal resilience, and global challenges.
Research Themes
Computational Social Science
Analyzing large-scale patterns in human behavior and social systems
Cultural Evolution
Exploring how ideas, practices, and cooperation evolve across time
The Social Complexity of Science
Understanding how knowledge, innovation, and trust in science emerge and spread.
