Places/professors for getting a Ph.D. in emergence, simulation of groups of people, etc.

[Martin C. Martin]

All,

A friend of mine, a bright guy with a B.Sc. in computer science, is very
interested in emergence and the simulation of groups of people, ants,
etc.  I'm trying to talk him into going to grad school, I think he'd be
perfect for it.  So he asked me for a list of departments & professors
where he could study emergence, simulation of groups of people, etc.  I
think he'd also be interested in analyzing networks of real people.

What do people suggest?  The most attractive for him would be a computer
science department, because of the stipend, but other departments are a
distinct possibility as well.

Thanks,
Martin

I am not sure how it stacks up to all of the other options, but he might take a look at CMU COS program:

One place he might consider is CS at Carnegie Mellon, my very own
institution! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/
 One particular person here who is working in the field is Kathleen Carley
http://www.casos.cs.cmu.edu/bios/carley/carley.html
 Also he might consider the Heinz School at Carnegie Mellon, my main home
http://www.heinz.cmu.edu/
 A particular person here in social networks is David Krackhardt

Thanks; CMU is where I got my  Ph.D., so it's great to see it
represented so well...
