Pranab Das, professor emeritus of physics, is a co-organizer of the workshop “Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences” at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA.

The workshop, to be held this week, is part of a semester-long program entitled “The Mathematics of Intelligence” where Das is a Senior Fellow.

The Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics is one of only six national mathematics institutes funded by the National Science Foundation. Its mission is to advance mathematical sciences with a focus on the great challenges of our time. The programs are selected competitively and awarded to teams like Das’ that demonstrate excellence and attract leading thinkers as well as young and rising academics.
