The Analytics, Complex, and Environmental Systems (ACES) Laboratory of IMSP studies systems whose behavior and interaction are not simple sums of the behavior and interaction of their components, such as granular materials, social, biological and environmental systems, using theoretical, experimental, and computational physics.

The Balista Group investigates and creates models of the flow and segregation of granular materials.

The Piñol Group explores the possibility of adopting models in physics in the study of population dynamics and ecological interactions.

The DARELab is a multidisciplinary research laboratory which focuses on utilizing applied physics, complexity science and machine learning techniques to investigate the dynamics of social, biological, health and environmental systems.
