Horizon Institute for Complex Systems

Non-equilibrium statistical physics, theoretical biophysics, and physiological dynamics.

The Horizon Institute for Complex Systems is a research institute based in Auckland, New Zealand. The institute is dedicated to foundational and computational research at the interface of non-equilibrium statistical physics, theoretical biophysics, and physiological dynamics.

Our work centers on applying computational modeling and quantitative methods to investigate dynamical processes and empirical regularities across complex physical and biological systems.

Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics

Applying statistical physics and dynamical systems methods to analyze fluctuation phenomena, transition characteristics, and dynamical evolution in open systems.

Theoretical Biophysics & Physiological Dynamics

Employing theoretical and quantitative modeling to investigate regulatory mechanisms, functional stability, and dynamic responses in complex biological and physiological systems.

Computational Physics & Empirical Data Analysis

Developing robust, reproducible numerical methods and computational workflows to evaluate theoretical models across open empirical repositories, observational datasets, and biomedical databases.
