Markus Luczak-Roesch

Associate Professor in Information Systems, Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington

I am an Associate Professor within the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington and an Associate Investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini—New Zealand's centre for research excellence (CoRE) on complex systems. I am leading the Complexity & Connection Science Lab that brings together students and researchers to work on theories and methods to understand the structures and dynamics of complex systems, and to develop computational tools that securely and meaningfully augment human intelligence.
