Applied & Computational Mathematics seminar: Swarming to Herding: Geometry of Collective Organization

Apr 10, 2026, 1:30 - 2:30 PM

Speaker: Prof. Sayomi Kamimoto, Howard University Title: Swarming to Herding: Geometry of Collective Organization Abstract: Collective motion is often associated with swarming—disordered, flexible, and adaptive group behavior. In contrast, herding suggests structure, direction, and coordination. What mechanisms drive a system from one regime to the other? Swarming to Herding: Geometry
