Awesome time visiting my PhD co-advisor and #legend Howard Pattee. #Respect for foundational work on #complexsystems #theoreticalbiology #hierarchytheory #multilevelcomplexity

Chapter 5 of my #EvolutionarySystems and Bio-inspired Computing course have been updated for 2024 edition. #ArtificalLife #TheoreticalBiology #ComplexSystems
"Reality is Stranger than Fiction"
https://casci.binghamton.edu/academics/i-bic/lec05.php

Updated third chapter of my #EvolutionarySystems and #bioinspiredComputing class. This semester I added a new subsection about #complexsystems and #systemsScience approaches to studying life, from #artificallife to #systemsbiology. "#MODELING THE WORLD AND SYSTEMS APPROACH TO LIFE"

About our latest collaboration. #edgeofchaos #complexsystems #networkbiology #networkmedicine
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2408679-life-may-be-less-chaotic-than-we-thought-say-physicists

Excited about this collaboration with Reka Albert 's lab, chiefly the work of Jordan Rozum with Felipe Costa and Kyu Hyong Park, just published in brand new PRX Life journal devoted to bridging the gap between physical and life sciences. Life is not after all at the #edgeofchaos? #complexsystems #systemsbiology

"In this study, novel metrics and simulations of experimentally-supported discrete dynamical models of cell processes reveal greater resilience to perturbation than previously observed, challenging the ‘edge of chaos’ theory for biological systems."

Will give an overview of our NIH-NLM-funded research on “Network Science to Model Health Vulnerabilities and Biases” at #SMM4H workshop at #AMIA2023, St. Charles Ballroom, Hilton Riverside, New Orleans. Saturday November 12, 10:30am

Looking forward to the AMIA Annual Symposium this Saturday in New Orleans, where I will give a keynote talk at the #SocialMediaMining for #Health Applications (#SMM4H) Workshop. #medicalinformatics #ComplexSystems #NetworkScience #machinelearning
https://healthlanguageprocessing.org/smm4h-2023/

Have you heard that @PLOSComplexSys is now open for submissions? Learn more about this new community-led #OpenAccess #ComplexSystems journal: https://plos.io/CSopen

I highly recommend this postdoctoral program with IGCi. The great David Soriano Panos, recent honoree at @CCS2023 Brazil has been a great example of bringing #complexSystems and #networkscience methods into #biology.

The power of life being a code and language being a virus also carries the seeds (or programs) of their own destruction.

So happy to finally see this collaboration with Rion Correia and @alainbarrat out. The distance backbone is a unique, algebraically-principled network subgraph that preserves all shortest paths. We were were excited to find out (with #sociopatterns and other data) that the backbones of #socialnetworks contain large amounts of redundant interactions that can be removed with very little impact on #communitystructure and #epidemic spread.

Super happy to have participated on this special issue on the principle of dynamical #criticality. It was really fun to expand our work on effective connectivity, #canalization and #redundancy with Jordan Rozum, Felipe Costa, and Austin Marcus. An a bonus for publishing in #Entropy---makes me feel quite cybernetic! #complexsystems #BooleanNetworks #Dynamics #networkScience #ComputationalBiology

We're super happy to have contributed the special issue of #Entropy on The Principle of Dynamical #Criticality in #biologicalsystems.

"Effective Connectivity and Bias Entropy Improve Prediction of Dynamical Regime in #Automata Networks"

#redundancy and canalization play major role in predicting #Dynamics, even after accounting for #heterogeneous #complexnetworks structure, in experimentally-validated biochemical regulation models and random networks. Emphasizing role of redundancy in #evolutionary.systems. #complexsystems

In addition to the positions in #complexNetworks and #Complexsystems above, I would like to draw your attention to Associate Professor position below which also welcomes (more senior) applicants in the same areas with focus on #health and #datascience.

Today at #ComplexNetworks 2022 I will give two talks summarizing our lab's work on #redundancy in #complexsystems . One focusing on network structure (session 4A) and the other on dynamics on and off networks (session 5C). See you there!
