Research

Our research focuses on exploring biology to develop advanced and programmable soft materials and structures with advanced functionalities enabling adaptation, autonomy and environmental responsiveness.

​

We are building an interdisciplinary and collaborative research group with a vision to advance science and society with the design of sustainable bio-inspired morphing structures. This gives the BIM lab team the opportunity to design structures inspired by biological discoveries, to find solutions that push the boundaries of what is though possible in the field, and to make major advances in multiple engineering applications such as aviation, healthcare, and environmental science.
