Short Bio

Kristian Lindgren is Professor in complex systems. Formerly he served as Head of Division for Physical Resource Theory (1992-1997). His research in complex systems includes evolutionary game theory, evolution of cooperation and modelling of social dilemmas, cellular automata, and information theory applied to self-organising systems as well as to models of microscopic dynamics. During the past decade, he has also worked extensively on development of energy-economic models for the study of regional and global energy system development under different climate targets and policies. Lindgren is currently co-director for European Centre for Living Technology in Venice. Lindgren initiated the international Masters programme in Complex Adaptive Systems in 2000, and he is the director for the PhD education in complex systems at Chalmers.
