Triphan investigates how fruit flies overcome obstacles, maintain directional flight, and adapt their behavior through sophisticated movement patterns. His work employs high-speed videography and genetic techniques to analyze neuronal circuits and behavioral flexibility.
Recent publications span topics such as starvation effects on fly activity, olfactory object recognition, and visual distance estimation. Collaborations with the AG Huetteroth research group are integral to his work.
