Complex Systems Engineering
Tucana is an engineering, R&D, and analytics firm specializing in complex systems. Our focus is to integrate academic-grade research with advanced mathematical and computational engineering to deliver design and analytics as a service to a variety of clients including for-profit, non-profit, academic, and government organizations.
We Apply
and Integrate
We specialize in data science and computational methods for the design of socio-technical economic systems, working specifically on algorithm design problems with complex human behavior implications. Our work includes pre-launch design and evaluation of economic business and ecosystem models based on simulation and analysis. We also provide post launch monitoring and maintenance via reporting, analytics, and decision support software. The team continues to develop, teach, and apply best practices in economic systems engineering, as an applied hybrid of artificial intelligence and computational social science.
Decision Theory
A bridge between economics and psychology that studies the reasoning underlying an agent’s choices, including empirical studies of human behavior.
Game Theory
The study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers and the derivation of best response strategies in formally defined games.
Systems Engineering
An interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design and manage complex systems using observation and control to create desired behaviors.
Network Science
An academic field which studies complex networks such as telecommunication networks, computer networks, biological networks, cognitive and semantic networks, and social networks.
Unprecedented Velocity. Impeccable Reliability.
Tucana defines and practices the emerging field of Economic Systems Engineering. We apply mathematical engineering technologies associated with time-tested Systems Engineering practices. We also integrate Game Theory and Behavioral Economics contributing to the creation of healthy sustainable ecosystems.
