Dynamica Research Lab

Université Laval, Québec, Canada

Understanding the structure and the dynamics of complex systems.
About us

We are a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to understanding the structure and dynamics of complex systems. Our approach integrates theoretical methods from fields such as statistical physics, nonlinear dynamics, differential geometry, statistical inference, and deep learning. We collaborate closely with other research groups, particularly experimental labs that generate data from real-world systems such as brains, mobility networks, and ecosystems.

Current research topics include:
