Our work encompasses complexity and chaos - using mathematics to build models of complex dynamical systems. Our applications include predictive maintenance in the resource industry, applying topological data analysis to improve animal welfare and new machine learning paradigms based on reservoir computing.
The Complex Systems Group are mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists working in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the University of Western Australia. Our work has been used by industry in Western Australia and globally. Our specialty is in using data to infer complex structure and then apply the techniques of Dynamical Systems Theory and Complex Systems Theory to model the underlying systems.
The Australian Research Council Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science is a collaboration between us, Curtin, CSIRO and industry leaders BHP, Alcoa, Roy Hill. CORE and MRIWA.
The Young Lives Matter Foundation and The Million Minds Mission Project Transforming Indigenous Mental Health and Wellbeing aim to improve mental health outcomes for young people in Western Australia, and globally.
The CSIRO-UWA Chair of Complex Engineering Systems (2016-2021) is supported by CSIRO Mineral Resources and UWA strategic funding
