Members
Dr Wataru Toyokawa
Postdoctoral scientists
Dr Natsuki Ogusu
Combining model analysis and agent-based simulations, Natsuki studies about the evolutionary dynamics of human social interactions
Dr Kenji Itao
Kenji explores human history through evolutionary models inspired by cultural anthropology, using a statistical physics approach.
Dr Henri Vandendriessche
His research lies at the crossroads of affective value-based decision-making, computational psychiatry, and now collective behaviour. Using reinforcement learning models applied to humans, Henri tries to shed light on inter-individual differences and group dynamics in group decision-making.
Dr Katja Sangati
Katja is a cognitive scientist working on collective adaptivity: the capacity of collective systems to maintain themselves in dynamic environments. Her toolbox is conceptual analysis, agent-based simulations and behavioral experiments.
Dr Michael Crosscombe

PhD students
Jingyu G. Xi
Jing uses a combination of computational modeling and behavioral experiments to understand the emergence of collective intelligence (…or stupidity) in diverse network topologies. Her main research interest is driven by the goal of achieving a deeper understanding of the co-evolution of the two complex systems: network and collective dynamics.
Tsuyoshi Shimodaira
Tsuyoshi is a JRA fellow co-supervised by Dr Hisashi Ohtsuki (SOKENDAI). Using formal math models, he studies on the evolution of teaching strategies.
