Peter Andras

I am Professor of Computer Science and Dean of the School of Computing, Engineering & Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University.

I am interested in the understanding of information processing in complex systems. My favorite complex system is the nervous system, but I am also interested in complex software systems, protein interaction systems and social interaction systems. I try to uncover how such systems organize themselves in order to process information about their complex environment, how information is represented in their processes, how they generate their actions to gain new information from their environment, and how they evolve in the context of their environment.
