Our world relies on a collection of interdependent networks, from critical infrastructure networks to social networks to biological and ecological networks. Each network on its own can have distinct timescales and display non-linear collective behaviors. This talk features how statistical physics provides a toolkit for analyzing these systems-of-systems including phase transitions and cascading failures and how future directions require partnering with the fields of non-linear dynamics and control theory.
