Matthew Egbert is a researcher exploring the origins and dynamics of
life and mind through the lens of adaptive behavior and complex
systems. His work combines artificial life, dynamical systems theory,
and embodied robotics to investigate how autonomous, self-maintaining
processes emerge and persist. Egbert’s research emphasizes enactive and
systems-theoretic perspectives, bridging philosophy, biology, and
computational modeling to better understand autonomy and viability in
living and artificial systems.
