Palina Bartashevich is a computer mathematician and a computer scientist with a special interest in studying collective behavior (swarm intelligence) of biological and artificial systems.
She joined SCIoI in August 2021 to work as a postdoctoral researcher.
In her previous work, Palina focused on the development of decentralised collective decision-making algorithms with a particular focus on the individual cognition (in terms of preferences, opinions, and beliefs of an artificial agent) in the group and the impact of the environment on the self-organised consensus process.
Within the SCIoI cluster, she works as a postdoctoral researcher on the synthetic side of Project 33 under the supervision of Pawel Romanczuk and in collaboration with a team of biologists to understand the biological mechanisms underlying the predator-prey interactions in group hunting behavior.
Palina has also worked on the creation of the installation “Interact with the Fish School,” in collaboration with David Mezey.
