I am a Group Leader (PI) at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and the University of Konstanz in Konstanz, Germany. My research focuses on collective motion in fish schools using cutting edges tools, including robotic fish and virtual reality techniques.
During my Ph. D, I focused on design, control, modeling and optimizing of carangiform robotic fish. Based on the robotic fish platform, energy saving mechanism in collective motion in fish school was systematically explored in both spatial and time scales. I will continue to test this hypothesis in the real fish system and explore further mechanisms in collective motion in fish school by projecting controllable virtual fish.
