Complex Systems Seminar Series
The Complex Systems Seminar Series covers a wide range of topics, providing an opportunity for presenters to share and attendees to become exposed to the latest research from different fields and disciplines.
Agent-based simulation, artificial intelligence, artificial life, genetic algorithms, machine learning, neural networks, signal processing, social networks, system dynamics, and science itself are just a few of the many diverse topics that have been presented, all in an informal environment where questions and discussion are encouraged.
Unless otherwise specified, seminars are held on Fridays from 2 - 3PM, location Cramer Hall Rm 69, throughout Spring term. For those taking the seminar for credit, grading is based on attendance, either in-person or remote.
