About

Our mission

We investigate how complex adaptive behaviors emerge from simple rules — whether in biological cells, animal populations, or human political systems. Agent-based modeling lets us simulate these systems and test hypotheses that are difficult to study empirically.

Approach

Each project combines computational simulation with domain theory. We build models in Java using MASON and Repast, ground them in empirical data, and share findings openly. All code is available on GitHub.
