    Hiroki Sayama is a Professor in the Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering, and the Director of the Binghamton Center of Complex Systems (CoCo), at Binghamton University, State University of New York, USA. He also serves as a non-tenure-track Professor in the School of Commerce at Waseda University, Japan, as well as an External Faculty member of the Vermont Complex Systems Center at the University of Vermont, USA. He received his B.Sc., M.Sc. and D.Sc. in Information Science, all from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He did his postdoctoral work at the New England Complex Systems Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. His research interests include complex dynamical networks, human and social dynamics, collective behaviors, artificial life/chemistry, interactive systems, and complex systems education, among others. He is an expert on mathematical/computational modeling and analysis of various complex systems. He has published more than 230 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings papers and has written or edited 15 books and conference proceedings about complex systems related topics. His open-access textbook on complex systems modeling and analysis has been downloaded more than 76,000 times globally and has become one of the standard textbooks on this subject. He currently serves as the Vice President of the International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL), an Elected Council / Executive Committee / CCS Steering Committee Member of the Complex Systems Society, a Board member of the Network Science Society (NetSci), the Chief Editor of Complexity (Wiley), the Founding Co-Editor-in-Chief of Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS), an Associate Editor of Artificial Life (MIT Press), and as an editorial board member for several other journals.
