Biography: 

Dieter Armbruster is interested in mathematical modeling: Collective behavior of swarms, modeling disaster recovery, modeling and optimization of production flow in semiconductor factories, derivation and analysis of the evolution of ant colonies and other social insects and modeling of molecular signaling pathways have been recent topics. A common feature among all these models is the occurrence of emergent phenomena: the system consisting of many individual parts behaves in novel ways that are not present at the individual level. Understanding the dynamics of emergent phenomena is important to understand the evolution of biological and social behavior, controlling them allows us to optimize factory production, traffic flows and emergency evacuations.  

The mathematical tools used include dynamical systems; methods of complexity science including dynamics on networks, game theory, decision theory and agent based simulations; and kinetic theory and partial differential equations.
