Dr. Bizyaeva’s research program at Cornell explores mathematical connections between collectively intelligent behavior in biological and social systems, and the design of autonomous and artificially intelligent behaviors in engineered teams. Drawing on Dr. Bizyaeva’s expertise in dynamical systems, control theory, and data-driven modeling, some of the complementary directions explored in her group include development of new data-driven and first-principles approaches for modeling complex systems, development of new approaches to multi-agent control and swarm autonomy that combine biological inspiration with mathematical rigor, and analysis of machine learning algorithms through the lens of dynamical systems and control theory. She leads a highly interdisciplinary research program, frequently engaging in collaborations with experts from a broad variety of disciplines including  biology, social psychology, and robotics. She is also an affiliate faculty member with the Cornell Scientific Artificial Intelligence Center.
