B. G. Sumpter

B. G. Sumpter is a mathematician and researcher specializing in ecology and collective animal behavior. He studies how groups like bird flocks, insect swarms, and fish schools coordinate and make decisions through simple local interactions. His work combines mathematical models and observations to understand how individual actions lead to complex group behavior, providing insights into biological processes and applications in robotics and artificial intelligence. Sumpter’s research helps reveal the principles behind natural collective systems and how coordination emerges without central control.
