Led by Bruno Carbonell, this line of research looks at the mathematical and philosophical foundations of the work the rest of Durandir does.
What we study
- Graphs and networks: the shape of the relationships between people, organisations and infrastructure, and what that shape reveals.
- Uncertainty and evidence: how confidence should rise or fall as sources agree, disagree or simply repeat each other.
- Complex systems: how small, local signals add up to patterns that only appear at scale.
- Philosophy of mathematics: what a model can and cannot say about the world it describes.
Why it matters
Investigation and security tools rest on assumptions about evidence, identity and causality. Making those assumptions explicit is how we keep our tools honest.
