Randomness is a fact of life, especially in biological systems, where stochasticity frequently dominates deterministic interactions. This can be observed across the entire biological hierarchy and at all scales of space and time. Living systems have evolved ways to sometimes suppress the negative effects of randomness and other times to use it to drive processes of organization, information processing and control. My research focuses on using computer modeling to better understand these biological 'algorithms' and how they evolved.
