Cristopher Moore

Cristopher Moore is a Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, where he explores interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physics, computer science, and mathematics. His work focuses on phase transitions in computational problems, social network analysis, quantum algorithms, and algorithmic fairness in consequential decisions like criminal justice risk assessment.

• Organized decarbonization workshops for New Mexico's energy transition
• Developed topological classifications for n-body orbital dynamics
• Co-founded Journal of Weird-Ass Shit and Journal of Unpublished Results

Research interests span from transparency in AI to quantum computing and social network theory. His recent work analyzes phase transitions in machine learning and the computational limits of pattern detection in noisy data.

Key article trends include quantum computation (Graph Isomorphism, Quantum Walks), complex systems (Sandpiles, Cellular Automata), and algorithmic justice frameworks. All work emphasizes both theoretical barriers and practical policy implications.
