Simon Garnier
About Me
Simon Garnier is an Associate Professor of Biology at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is the head of the Swarm Lab, an interdisciplinary research lab that studies the mechanisms underlying Collective Behaviors and Swarm Intelligence in natural and artificial systems (http://www.theswarmlab.com). His research aims to reveal the detailed functioning of collective intelligence in systems as diverse as ant colonies, human crowds or robotic swarms. Dr. Garnier received a B.Sc. in Cell and Molecular Biology in 2002 from the University of Bordeaux. He received his M.Sc. in Neuroscience and Cognition in 2004 and his Ph.D. in Animal Behavior in 2008 from the University of Toulouse, both under the direction of Dr. Guy Theraulaz.
