Vishwesha Guttal Postdoctoral Research Associate Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA Email: vguttal@server where server=princeton.edu I am a postdoc in the group of Iain Couzin at Princeton University and I work on various aspects of  Collective Animal Behavior  such as schools of fish, flocks of birds or marching locusts. In particular, I am focusing on the evolutionary aspects of collective behavior. I did my PhD in Physics at The Ohio State University working with Prof. C Jayaprakash on theoretical ecology. In my thesis, I proposed early warning signals and predictive measures for abrupt and catastrophic changes in states of ecosystems (such as transition from clear to turbid water in lakes; desertification in semi-arid regions).  This work won Volterra Award at the ESA 2008 conference (best student oral presentation in theory section). I had joined OSU in Fall 2003 after completing my undergraduate studies in Physics at IIT Kanpur, India. During my free time (very little of it is left now), I volunteer for Association for India's Development. Click here for Columbus chapter webpage.
