Stuart Alan Kauffman (28 September 1939) is an American theoretical biologist and complex systems researcher concerning the origin of life on Earth. He is best known for arguing that the complexity of biological systems and organisms might result as much from self-organization and far-from-equilibrium dynamics as from Darwinian natural selection, as well as for applying models of Boolean networks to simplified genetic circuits.

In January of 2010 Kauffman will being joining the University of Vermont faculty where he continue his work with UVM's Complex Systems Center.
Of his new position at the University of Vermont Kauffman says: "I'm very happy to be coming to UVM, I'm drawn by the bright young faculty in the Complex Systems Center and the great work I think we'll be able to do as a team, as well as by the investments the university has made in complex systems and advanced computing and its strong support for cross-disciplinary research. I'm especially intrigued by Dr. Grasso's...
