I am investigating the collective movement of locusts using individual tracking of agents and incorporating information theory to infer different causal interactions that constitute the collective migration of locusts. In another approach, I also use the Eulerian framework, specifically Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), to describe the macroscopic flow patterns in locust swarms. By combining causality analysis from information theory with PIV-based flow characterization, I aim to uncover the underlying principles governing active turbulence in collective migration.
