Graduate Researcher

My research interests broadly center on how physical forces shape biomechanical design and organismal behavior across length scales. I am particularly interested in how the interplay of flight dynamics, electrostatics, and floral structure influences pollination and reveals broader physical principles underlying particle transport in nature. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking and climbing, playing ice hockey, and working on the occasional DIY electronics project.

Undergrad Researcher

I am a third year bio-engineering student interested in bio-inspired design. I’m passionate about both human health and the ecosystem. I particularly love learning about biomechanics in animals and how such information can be used to innovate new technologies.

Undergrad Researcher

Studying environmental science, I am interested in learning how people are disproportionately affected by pollution. Recently, I have had an interest in biology and how organisms interact and adapt to their surroundings. I am eager to explore how these interests could intersect with one another.

Undergrad Researcher

I am a mechanical engineering student interested in the intersection between machinery and biology – both how technology can be applied towards studying nature and how nature can inform the development of technology. I hope to design bio-inspired tech for more efficient and environmentally-friendly generation of power in the future.

Undergrad Researcher

I am a physics student with a passion for biology, especially entomology. I like learning about the use of physics and mathematics in describing biological systems. My current work aims to understand how electrostatic forces are produced and used by small animals.
