David Krakauer presents 'How the World is Changing and How You Want to Change the World,' Oct. 17

Thursday, Oct. 17, 1-3 p.m. UAA Campus Bookstore

David Krakauer is the director of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and co-director of the Center for Complex Systems and Collective Computation at University of Wisconsin, Madison. Krakauer sums up his research by saying, "The big question that many are asking is what will evolutionary theory look like once it has become integrated with the sciences of adaptive information (information theory and computation), and of course, what will these sciences then look like?" He has worked collaboratively with several business partners, including Google, Boeing, Fidelity and Intel, on this question and more. Wired UK listed him as one of 50 people who will change the world in their 2012 "Smart List."

As part of his visit to Anchorage, Krakauer will also deliver Complex Systems Lectures Oct. 17 and 18. For more information, visit the UAA Campus Bookstore website or contact Rachel at repstein2@uaa.alaska.edu or (907) 786-4782.
