I enjoyed the material so much I switched my career plans to continue my study of complex systems. I declared a Complex Systems minor as a sophomore to compliment my major in Mathematics. I wanted to supplement my pure methodological work with applications and interdisciplinarity. -- Daniel Kaiser, Class of 2019

Dillon Patel, Mech-Eng, CSCS Minor, Class of 2018 "The CSCS curriculum allowed me to explore topics outside of my core engineering coursework, work with graduate students from multiple disciplines, and has already had a direct effect on my career... I feel I had unique perspective on how to apply modeling to real-world situations."

Irina Mondescu - Class of 2016 "Beyond college, my time at CSCS helped me stand out in interviews. I noticed that many companies were looking for people who could bring new perspectives and ideas to the team. My complex systems minor helped me stand out from students solely from business or finance backgrounds."

CLICK TO WATCH THE VIDEO ANIMATION: PLANT-POLLINATOR SYSTEMS UNDER THREAT

This video was created for Complex Systems Professor Fernanda Valdovinos and Valdovinos Lab.

Valdovinos Lab studies the structure and dynamics of ecological networks at ecological and evolutionary scales, including their resilience to biodiversity loss, biological invasions, climate change, and exploitation by humans.
