The primary goal of GOTHAM lab gravitates around theoretical and computational aspects of complex systems, with main focus on data-driven modeling of empirical systems and the analysis of collective behaviors.

Our interests are widely interdiciplinar and cover scientific fields such as Epidemiology, Ecology, Systems biology, Neuroscience and Social sciences.

Our main modeling tools require the use of techniques from Statistical and Computational physics, Nonlinear dynamics, Network Science and Big Data analysis.

In a nutshell, our aim is to shed light on the basic mechanisms and interactions that shape the behavior of real-world complex systems.
