Collective Motion of Finite Flocks by Vishwesha Guttal

Explore the fascinating dynamics of group behavior in a conference talk on the collective motion of finite flocks. Delve into the intricacies of active matter systems as Vishwesha Guttal presents research findings at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn how principles from physics and biology intersect to explain the coordinated movements of bird flocks, fish schools, and other animal groups. Gain insights into the mathematical models and theoretical frameworks used to analyze these complex systems. Understand how individual interactions lead to emergent patterns on a larger scale, and discover the implications of this research for fields ranging from ecology to robotics. This 36-minute presentation is part of the "Active Matter and Beyond" discussion meeting, offering a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research in nonequilibrium systems and collective behavior.
