My research focuses on the use of information theory in the study of formation, maintenance and stability of complex systems. Examples are vitrification, protein dynamics, stem cell differentiation, and democracy. This research is part of a long-term project of building a quantitative framework for the dynamics of complex systems, firmly rooted in mathematics, physics, and philosophy of science. Current topics are: philosophical and mathematical foundations of complexity, information theoretic measures of complex systems, complexity in climate change adaptation and mitigation interventions, stability of democracy.
