Portland State University, Portland, OR, US, PhD, Systems Science
My academic career is focused on the rationalization of city planning and the emerging field of building science and the science of cities. From the perspective of an architect and scientist, I am researching the processes by which urban spatio-temporal structures behave as multi-scale complex adaptive systems. My goal is to apply theory and methods from complex systems science to the research, analysis and design of urban environments. Cities are simultaneously the physical manifestation of buildings and infrastructure or hardware as well as the software and wetware of socio-economic systems and biological-ecological systems. Fractal cartography, cellular automata simulation, genetic algorithms and statistical physics are some of the theoretical components underlying a scientific framework for architecture. I have developed and applied these tools in a number of projects to date as well as peer reviewed white papers.
