Complex Systems

Overview

Translating fundamental discoveries at the nanoscale into functional engineering systems is essential to solving California’s most pressing needs in sustainability, healthcare, the environment, and the future of work. With our partners at UCLA, CNSI researchers are pioneering the analysis of multiscale system dynamics across domains from ecosystems to robotics. This intrinsically multidisciplinary work provides California with a unique training environment for the next generation of leaders in science and engineering.
