1. Deriving effective forces for mesoscopic particle simulations
Abstract : In the field of molecular simulations, the long-standing aim has been to study mechanisms that cannot easily be observed in experiments or understood in terms of more abstract models. This is hard for systems of mesoscopic size (proteins, membranes etc. READ MORE

2. Attraction Based Models of Collective Motion
Abstract : Animal groups often exhibit highly coordinated collective motion in a variety of situations. For example, bird flocks, schools of fish, a flock of sheep being herded by a dog and highly efficient traffic on an ant trail. READ MORE

3. On Communication and Flocking in Multi-Robot Systems
Abstract : Coordination of multi-robot systems to improve communication and achieve flocking is the topic of this thesis. Methods are proposed for mobile autonomous robots to follow trajectories in a way that improves communications with a base station. Further, a decentralized algorithm is presented that yields flocking with obstacle avoidance. READ MORE

4. Coordination, Consensus and Communication in Multi-robot Control Systems
Abstract : Analysis, design and implementation of cooperative control strategies for multi-robot systems under communication constraints is the topic of this thesis. Motivated by a rapidly growing number of applications with networked robots and other vehicles, fundamental limits on the achievable collaborative behavior are studied for large teams of autonomous agents.

5. On the role of migration for the distribution of arctic birds - a circumpolar perspective
Abstract : Flexibility as well as constraints to the evolution of migration routes has the possibility of affecting large-scale patterns of geographical ranges of animals both by facilitating, but sometimes restricting, accessibility to and colonization of new regions. This dissertation concerns the broad-scale effects migration has on the distributional patterns of birds in the Arctic. READ MORE
