معرفی
Dr. Camille Buhl is a Senior Lecturer in Plant Protection at the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine within the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology at the University of Adelaide. Her work focuses on understanding insect movement and collective behavior through interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental biology, computational modeling, and robotics.
Research Interests: Buhl's research explores movement ecology, collective animal behavior, and their applications to agriculture and pest control. Key areas include locust collective movement modeling, termite nest construction mechanisms, and social insect nutrition dynamics. She employs cutting-edge technologies like drones, radar tracking, and machine learning for field monitoring.
Current Projects: Her team develops robotic systems for pest detection, simulates locust band migrations using CUDA-based models, and investigates termite nest architecture evolution through computed tomography and mathematical biology. Collaborations include the Plant Accelerator, SARDI Entomology, and ECMS researchers.
Grants & Supervision: Buhl is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD candidates focusing on animal behavior, computational ecology, and AgTech applications. Her work bridges ecological theory with practical agricultural solutions, emphasizing sustainable pest management strategies.
Labs & Facilities: Active in the University of Adelaide's AgTech ecosystem, she utilizes advanced robotics labs and field stations for experimental work. Her research integrates field robotics, mathematical modeling, and nutritional ecology to address global challenges in sustainable agriculture.
