Title: 		 Structure and Dynamics in Complex Systems    	

Abstract:		In this talk I present an overview of my research along the last decades, which includes image analysis, pattern recognition and complex networks.

Emphasis is placed on the importance of shape in defining the properties of natural and artificial complex systems.  The discussed application examples include but are not limited to the relationship between shape and function in neuronal networks, the accessibility of streets and undergrounds,  and disease spreading among roots and neurons.

Hosted by: Ridg Scott and Janos Simon
