Siddharth, You might want to take a look at Portland State's Systems Science program.
http://www.pdx.edu/sysc/ It might have the multi-disciplinary angle you are wanting. There was mention of Melanie Mitchell's Complexity book on a previous post...She is a professor at PSU in the computer science department. She is involved with the systems science program via this computer science link. Though I believe she is going on sabbatical for a year.
