Professor Hiroki Sayama

Professor Hiroki Sayama, D.Sc. is Assistant Professor Department of Bioengineering, Binghamton University, State University of New York.
 
His research interests are:

• Complex systems: Complex dynamical networks, collective behaviors, nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, self-organization, multiscale phenomena, social systems, modeling, simulation and visualization of complex systems.
   
  
• Artificial life: Self-replication, self-repair, cellular automata, artificial chemistry, swarm behaviors, artificial evolutionary systems, robustness and evolvability of artifacts, application of artificial life to media art.
   
  
• Mathematical biology: Theoretical population/evolutionary biology, spatially distributed ecological or evolutionary models, multilevel selection, speciation.
   
  
• Computer & information sciences: Automaton and formal languages, computation theory, information theory, parallel computation, nature-inspired computing.

Hiroki authored Generative network automata: A generalized framework for modeling complex dynamical systems with autonomously varying topologies, Self-replicating machines attempting to solve the unsolvable, Workplace construction: A theoretical model of robust self-replication in kinematic universe, and A new structurally dissolvable self-reproducing loop evolving in a simple cellular automata space, and coauthored Wriggraph: A kinetic graph model that uniformly describes ontogeny and motility of artificial creatures, Visualizing evolutionary dynamics of self-replicators: A graph-based approach, and Complex genetic evolution of artificial self-replicators in cellular automata.

He earned his B.Sc. in 1994, his M.Sc. in 1996, and his D.Sc. in 1999, all in Information Science at the University of Tokyo, Japan.
