This week's seminar invited Sylvie Lorente from Villanova University to discuss how flow system patterns inform efficient designs for heat, mass, & fluid flows, taking inspiration from the liver's blood vessel structure and hydrotropism in plant roots. 🌱

The MEAM Seminar Series also gives our faculty the opportunity to speak on their research. This week, hear from Paris Perdikaris, Associate Professor in MEAM, and his talk: "Digital Twins for the Earth System."

How can robots adapt their physical form and control systems to handle tasks and environments? Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio approached this question and explored how robotic skins, fabrics, and morphing limbs can demonstrate flexibility in robotic design in this week's seminar.

This week we're inviting Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio of Yale University to speak on "Robots that Evolve on Demand," exploring shape-shifting soft robot platforms for multi-task performance and multi-environment locomotion.
