Our team includes expertise in physics, engineering, and computer science. We work together to address complex problems, provide additional insights, and develop innovative solutions We believe that collaboration and diversity are essential for making research breakthroughs.
Meet Our Team
Our team is led by Antonio F. Miguel and Luiz A. O. Rocha, who have extensive experience in the study of complex flow systems. Both are listed in the World's Top 2% Scientists Rankings according to the study coordinated by Stanford University, and included in the two lists ranking presented "Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking" and "Annual Scientific Influence Ranking".
Our Mission
Complex networks are omnipresent in nature and engineering, and it has attracted significant attention. Living systems and critical infrastructures such as transportation networks and power grids, among others, are critical and play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth functioning of numerous systems. Our lab uses analytical and computational tools to develop models of complex systems and solve problems in different disciplines: physics, engineering, biological and medical physics, geofluids, and bioinformatics.
