Dr. Layton’s research interests include using bio-inspired analysis techniques to design sustainable human networks and systems, including but not limited to industrial resource networks and complex energy systems. Biological systems have developed over time to deal with problems regarding robustness, sustainability, and efficiency. Using these systems as a guide for the formation of human engineered systems can help them better withstand major catastrophic events and co-exists as part of a sustainable world.
