Pedro Piquet
Masters Student; ABS in Biomedical Physics
UNICAMP, Brazil.
Pedro worked with Roy Harpaz studying the ontogeny of collective behavior of different teleost fish - Danionella, Medaka and zebrafish. Pedro used a combination of behavioral experiments and mathematical models to understand the way species specific swim patterns of individual animals and the animals' natural environments can shape their social interactions.

Laurens Dijkstra
Masters Student; Delft University of Technology
The Netherlands
Laurens’ research focuses on the influence of heart rate on the decision-making process in zebrafish. He combines behavioral experiments with 2-photon imaging.
