Congratulations to Scott Page for being elected into the National Academy of Sciences along with a fellow U-M Professor!
The National Academy of Sciences recently announced the election of 120 members and 30 international members, including two from the University of Michigan, in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and — with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine — provides science, engineering, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.
Scott Page’s research focuses on the function of diversity in complex social systems, the potential for collective intelligence, and the design of institutions for meeting the challenges of a complex world. He is the author of more than one hundred research papers and five books covering a variety of fields including game theory, economics, political theory, formal political science, sociology, psychology, philosophy, physics, public health, geography, computer science, and management. Along with five other scholars, he recently co-founded a new, interdisciplinary academic journal, Collective Intelligence, which he co-edits.
