Overview
Title: Biological Coupled Oscillators in the Real World
Members of the NITMB community are invited to join us for Research-In-Progress meetings, an informal venue for members of the NITMB to discuss ongoing and/or planned research.
Guy Amichay is a Research Associate in the Engineering Sciences & Applied Mathematics (ESAM) department, working with Professor Daniel Abrams. He is mostly interested in self-organization—how systems manage to become ordered with no obvious leader or conductor. His current work is on synchronization (coupled oscillators), focusing on different systems such as firefly swarms flashing in unison or groups of crabs waving their claws in sync. Other than that he is also working on science of science (on the formation of collaborations) and association football (soccer) collective movement analysis.
Learn more about Guy Amichay’s research and engage in discussion with the NITMB community. Research-In-Progress talks take place on Wednesdays at 3pm at the NITMB office (875 N Michigan Ave., Suite 4010). Snacks and coffee will follow.
