The Complex Systems Group is part of the Scalable Information Management Research Group.

Complex systems are an exciting research area with many applications in various sciences. Understanding how the brain works, or how proteins and genes form complex networks that drive the behaviour of cells, or how animals communicate to build complex social structures are a few examples of remarkable complex systems topics. Members of the group work on network analysis, agent-based modeling, and analysis of data describing complex systems.

The group has currently three principal investigators and a number of research associates and PhD students. Members of the group collaborate with several researchers mainly from life sciences (cellular and molecular biology, microbiology, psychology, neuroscience, ageing research). We also have collaborations with companies like the InRotis Technologies (Newcastle), the EnviResearch Ltd (Newcastle), and the Microsoft Research (Cambridge).
