UM Complex Systems
The crowded central campus crosswalk at 12:50 PM is a perfect example of complex systems, where individual movement creates collective order. It's happening all around you and you are a part of it!

A political application of complex systems with Complex Systems post-doc David Sabin-Miller.
David Sabin-Miller puts quantifiable psychological behavior at the center of a model where people update their beliefs based on what they see, then feed those updates back into the environment they’re reacting to. This creates a feedback loop where people bounce off political information, with some pushed left and others right. Even with all the noise in who sees what, these individual dynamics can scale up to reveal broader societal patterns.
