Welcome

My name is Cody Moser. I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Collective Intelligence at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. I earned my PhD in Cognitive and Information Sciences at UC Merced and was previously a visiting graduate fellow at The Music Lab at Harvard University.

I work on questions examining the relationship between structure and adaptation in social, biological, economic, and neural systems from a complex systems perspective. To do this, I utilize methods from network theory, agent-based modeling, and large-scale corpus analysis.

Please reach out to me either via email or on X if you would like to chat.

In the meantime, here’s a collaboration network I made of my PhD department. At the time we had 51 nodes, an average clustering coefficient of .17, and a path length of 3.39. In my work on innovation and collective problem-solving, I have yet to find an organization of this size that is as innovative as ours. You can download the edge list here.

The strong message for successful ongoing adaptive evolution is ‘Keep a masterpiece and, at the same time, continue to explore adaptive space with mutational variants.’ - Toquenaga & Wade, 1996

In a higher world it is otherwise, but here below to live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often. - John Henry Newman, On the Development of Ideas
