We help designers and researchers gain a deeper understanding of complex systems such as those found in the biological world and the built environment. Specifically, we develop tools and techniques to model, simulate, and explore human-centric natural and designed systems, with an emphasis on data collection and visualization. Our research advances the state of the art while striving for a novel multi-paradigm, multi-scale, and multi-physics platform to support collaboration among experts in a multitude of domains.

In the Human Systems Biology domain, we partner with experts in organizations, such as the Parametric Human Project, to develop novel multi-scale simulation models.

In the domain of the built environment, we partner with academia and government laboratories in Systems Design for Sustainability.

We believe that a collaborative, data-driven approach to challenges in modeling, simulation, visualization, and analysis will help us to build an ecosystem of tools and technologies that can support both hypothesis generation and hypothesis testing, creating new knowledge to advance science and human understanding.
