Dr Markus Brede
Complex Systems Simulation Seminar Series (CS^4)
from the Institute for Complex Systems Simulation, the Complexity in Real-World Contexts USRG and the Computational Modelling Group.
Dr Markus Brede is a Research Scientist with the CSIRO Centre for Complex Systems Science.
His research focuses on understanding possible governance mechanisms (rules) for enabling sustainable use of natural resources and how these might evolve in response to climate change.
- common pool resources and strategies for resource management
- modelling social factors in decision-making in socio-ecological systems
- coupling socio-ecological and climate models
- the relationship between the stability or resilience of natural systems and their network structure
- the stability properties of network ensembles with biased non-random topologies
- using optimisation techniques to generate ‘stable’ interaction networks
- synchronisation in complex networks
- understanding language as a network of connected words
- network models of the immune system.
He has also recently completed a six-month secondment at the University of Utrecht, in the Netherlands, working on network approaches to incorporating societal dynamics in models of social-ecological systems.
