Norman R. Augustine '57*59 Professor in Robotics
Radhika Nagpal is a Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, a distinguished pioneer in collective artificial intelligence, swarm robotics, and complex systems.
The principles of complex systems, such as emergent behavior and network effects, offer a powerful lens for analyzing economic phenomena, institutional evolution, and historical trajectories beyond traditional equilibrium models.
The SFI's focus on emergent properties and feedback loops in complex systems provides a framework for understanding how institutional structures, as discussed in 'Why Nations Fail,' lead to divergent economic outcomes.
