About us

The Center for Network Dynamics (CND) focuses on the mechanisms underlying dynamical behavior in complex systems, paving the way for the development of new systems that rely on emergent network dynamics. Our work is collaborative and interdisciplinary, spanning quantum information, energy and sustainability, systems biophysics, complex systems, and data science, among other fields.
