Irene Giardina I am a member of the Department of Physics at Sapienza University and an associate member of the Institute for Complex Systems (ISC) of the National Research Council. I am a theoretical physicist, with a background in statistical physics. I worked for some time on disordered systems and glassy behaviour in condensed matter, and then moved to biological systems. Together with Andrea Cavagna, I founded the CoBBS lab. |

Stefania Melillo I am the Head of the Experimental and Tracking unit of RG.BIO team. My background is in applied mathematics but from 2010, when I joined CoBBS group, my research is mainly focused on 3D field experiments with stereo-camera systems. I am fascinated by all aspect of the experiment: from the design of the set-up and the data collection to 3D tracking and data analysis. I have a deep experience in standard static systems and recently I moved my interest to the development of dynamic 3D systems, a rather demanding set-up that is still unexplored for field experiments on collective animal behavior. |

Leonardo Parisi I am a computer scientist. My work is mainly focused on computer vision, 3D tracking, and GPU programming. I am fascinated by collective animal behavior and in the last years I have joined the CoBBS group at the Institute for Complex Systems ISC where I am now a researcher. I also work on the reconstruction of the 3D trajectories of the space debris, in collaboration with the 5SLab at DIMA (Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering) of University Sapienza of Rome. |

Agnese D’orazio I work as administrative assistant to several research projects, most of them on collective behaviour. In this position, I work closely with principal investigators, researchers and external collaborators. I assist with negotiation and reporting activities serving as main contact for funding agencies. I also provide logistical support to projects coordinating activities that involve both research and administrative staff in my Institution. |
