Research areas

  • Dynamical Systems, Networks, Game Theory, Statistical Physics of Learning and Inference

The ROC group is interested in various aspects of evolutionary dynamics in social and biological systems. We use game theory, networks and theory of stochastic processes to understand the consequences of evolving individual choices on collective dynamics in scenarios of social conflict.
