As a Research Assistant, I dive into research papers to gain a greater understanding of the latest advancements in the simulation of biologically-inspired swarming behaviors. My primary focus is on the coding and simulation of these behaviors within agent-based virtual environments. By implementing evolutionary algorithms inspired by the world around us, I am learning to replicate and explore complex swarming behaviors, contributing to a deeper understanding of natural systems and their applications in technology. This role has honed my skills in algorithm development, simulation design, and interdisciplinary research, bridging the gap between biology, engineering, and computer science.
