The Santa Fe Complex draws on the creativity of scientists, technologists, and artists to solve complex problems to meet business, government, and social needs. Combining talents across disciplines, the Complex has helped the City of Santa Fe model escape routes for its citizens in the event of forest fires, the city of Venice plan canal traffic to minimize the wakes that damage the city’s architecture, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health identify the movement of troubled youths through their social services network.

The Complex delivers project work on a consulting basis. We are located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a renowned center of research in complexity science, an interdisciplinary approach to solving complex problems.

We have access to some of the best hands-on talent available in complexity science today and can put together teams with expertise in the latest technologies, sophisticated modeling capability, and experience in visualization techniques that allow complex problem to be tackled in new ways.

How We Work

Much of the talent of the Complex comes from the 1099 Nation, a growing contingent of scientists, technologists and artists who choose not to be employed full-time, but to work on a project basis as part of a team tackling interesting problems.

Some of our projects originate with the Complex, through the connections of our talent pool, but we are also open to collaborating on projects that originate outside the Complex community. If you have a project underway or even an idea for a project, but need additional resources to field the right team, we’re open to discussion.
