Research
Throughout billions of years of evolution, nature has created an extremely rich and diverse palette of systems that achieve multiple functions in a resource-limited, and robust way. We seek to find inspiration in nature (bio-inspired design) to solve engineering challenges while advancing the discovery of new science. By employing multi-disciplinary approaches, we uncover novel biological phenomena (engineered-enabled biology) to create structures for dynamic and energy tailoring. Our current research thrusts include:
