Fernando Peruani

Fernando Peruani is a Professor at the Laboratory LPTM, CY Cergy Paris Université, where he conducts theoretical research on self-organization in biological systems. His work spans multiple scales, from bacterial ensembles to collective animal behavior, aiming to develop a unified mathematical framework for understanding emergent phenomena in living systems.

His research interests lie at the intersection of theoretical biology, statistical physics, and collective dynamics. He investigates how decentralized systems achieve coordination through local interactions, focusing on intermittent collective motion, synchronization, imitation, and information pooling in groups such as bacterial colonies and sheep herds. A central theme is the emergence of democratic leadership and collective intelligence in animal groups.

The lecture he delivered in 2020 suggests a strong emphasis on modeling behavioral shifts and decision-making using principles inspired by physical systems. Although no publications are listed, his work appears to bridge physics and biology, targeting universal patterns in non-equilibrium biological organization.
