Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVivek Sridhar is an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington and an affiliate researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, bringing nine years of research experience in spatiotemporal computation and collective animal behavior. His work probes the mechanisms of movement, navigation, and decision-making in animals, spanning PhD and postdoctoral projects on spatial decision-making, sexual signalling, and mate choice. Trained in evolutionary biology with degrees from institutions across Europe and a biotechnology engineering background, he blends quantitative biology with experimental techniques. He also collaborates with artists as a mixed-media practitioner and alumni of the »Field Trip« residency, using creative practice to surface novel perspectives on scientific questions. Known for bridging theory and empirical work, he leverages interdisciplinary methods to reveal how individual rules scale to collective patterns. Based in Seattle, he continues to translate fundamental insights into broader understanding of animal collectives and navigation.
