About Us
The Fu lab is focused on studying principles that govern dynamics of evolving systems across different domains and at different scales.
Our research is highly interdisciplinary and combines
mathematical and computational approaches with analysis of experimental and observational data for a better understanding
of fundamental questions in the biological, social, and medical sciences.
Our current research interests include game theory and AI, human behavior, evolutionary dynamics and mathematical humanities.
