Complex Systems Seminar Series Presents "Low rattling: A predictive principle for self-organization in active collectives" (Click to view - Note: there is a slight delay before the audio begins)
Pavel Chvykov - Department of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Date of Seminar: Tuesday, February 23, 2021
ABSTRACT: In this work we suggest a mechanism for self-organization of active matter, which we believe may be quite general. This mechanism is similar....SEE FULL ABSTRACT AND EVENT LISTING HERE

Complex Systems Seminar Series Presents "Searching for the densest network that does not always synchronize" <----To View Click Here
Steven Strogatz, Applied Mathematics, Cornell University
Date of Seminar: Tuesday, November 17, 2020
Abstract: Consider a network of identical phase oscillators with sinusoidal coupling. How likely are the oscillators to globally synchronize, starting from random initial phases? One expects dense networks to have a strong tendency to synchronize and the basin of attraction .... SEE FULL EVENT LISTING HERE
Complex Systems Seminar Series Presents "Choice of Fitness Function Matters. Which One Do Salmon Use?" <----To View Click Here
Carl P. Simon, Emeritus - UM Mathematics, Complex Systems and Ford School of Public Policy
Date of Seminar: Tuesday, November 10, 2020
Abstract: Life history theory focuses on characteristics of organisms, such as size and age at maturity or tradeoffs between egg number and egg size. It studies how such traits vary as evolutionary responses to natural selection that optimize fitness...SEE FULL EVENT LISTING HERE.
