Wolfram is the Argelander (Tenure-Track) Assistant Professor of the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) Sustainable Futures and is based at the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn, Germany. His research centers around the question, Are we smart enough for the good life? To answer this, the BarfussLab develops formal models of collective learning to understand better how, in complex environments, individual decisions become collective action for a sustainable future.
