Often people ask why we chose to work on a certain problems and a simple answer for us in this case - it’s beautiful. If you want to learn the magic of building crystalline « gems » inside the body - see our latest paper at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Come join my research group as a PhD student for an exciting project in collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University. The project will focus on inference of social forces in animal groups. Timely and fun topic 😁
Pls share:
I have an opening for a PhD student in my group part of a collaboration with Ilya Nemenman at Emory University to begin ASAP. It is an opportunity to delve into the theory and application of social interactions inference methods.

Very glad that Albin Salazar is joining my research group
as a postdoctoral fellow where his goal is to wed multi-level paradigms with multi-scale data integration to elucidate mechanistic behaviors pertinent in diverse foraging scenarios.😄 Welcome on board Albin

Proud of my PhD student @rodento.bsky.social for her first study on the effect of environmental structure on social phenotype of desert locusts.
An amazing collaboration with @einatcouzin.bsky.social , who got me to work on locusts.

Make sure to check this exciting new study bringing together RL and DDM models , comparing them in their performance to model collective foraging. Enjoy !
Can one bring together Reinforcement learning and Drift Diffusion models to understand collective foraging ?
Congrads to Jonathan Marienhagen , Lisa Blum Moyse and Dominik Deffner on this new study. Very happy that I was part of this collaboration.
