Modeling complexity: From vascular biomechanics to social systems
In this talk I will give insight on the activity of the research center Mathematics for Technology, Medicine & Biosciences of the University of Ferrara. I'll report on the studies concerning the mechanics of the human venous system as well as on the mathematical modeling of social systems, such as pedestrian dynamics and vehicular traffic, with the common paradigm of complexity modeling.
