Main Research Interests

Currently I am working in the following research areas:

Complex Systems
Cellular Automata
Self-organization and Emergence
Biomechanical modelling of tissues

Complex systems provide an apparently powerful research tool helping to express and simulate many scientific problems in various research fields. For many years, different research fields were diverging into completely different mathematical formalisms and techniques. During last -- let say 20 -- years, a new paradigm of solving scientific problems appeared which has been redeveloped across the whole spectrum of research fields ranging from physics to pure biology. Recently, scientist working with complex systems realized this fact. From a certain point of view, we could say that a new age of reunification of mathematical formulation of nature is coming with complex systems.
