Complex systems
Anticipate, control and manage the complexity of the unexpected
,
Complex systems are composed of large numbers of diverse interacting parts that can be prone to unexpected and often disruptive dynamics. Small changes can generate large, amplified effects.
Smart cities, infrastructure and ecosystems are complex systems, susceptible to abrupt, large-scale, disruptive dynamics. Those working with complex systems model, analyse and design strategies for crisis forecasting and management.
For example, a single malfunction in a local substation can lead to cascading state-wide electricity grid failures, or the emergence of a new pathogen in a remote village can give rise to a devastating global epidemic.
They are tasked with modelling, analysing and designing resilient strategies for crisis forecasting and management in technological, socioeconomic and socioecological systems. You can apply these skills to a wide range of industries.
The degree provided me with a new perspective on how to approach things and an analytical mindset to question the underlying properties which leads to observed phenomena.
Master of Complex Systems
Studying in the Master of Complex Systems has honed my existing skills in a more formal and technical way, and expanded my understanding of how to ask questions and approach problems in data.
