Dr. Deneubourg develops nonlinear mathematical models and experiments demonstrating
how complex social organization can emerge from the self-organized activities
of individual social insects. His work have focussed on the social behavior
of ants but have had much broader implications for understanding how complex
systems are organized. He is considered a leader in the field of complex systems
dynamics.
