Role
Lecturer
Biomimetics - BIOE97152
Aims
Mankind has always mimicked nature. Fishing nets, airplane wings, sonar, computer viruses and artificial intelligence are just a few of a long list of examples where nature has inspired technological applications but many functional principles developed during evolution still remain to be discovered. Understanding these principles may help scientists and engineers to solve outstanding technological problems.
