Presented by Emilie Snell-Rood, an Associate Professor in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at the University of Minnesota, at the Bryant Lake Bowl on May 16th, 2017.
The field of biomimetics seeks to solve problems from energy production to cancer by looking to how organisms have solved similar problems over evolutionary time. But the majority of engineers, material scientists and others using these approaches do not directly collaborate with biologists. We have barely scratched the surface of biological inspiration, and in order to use this approach more powerfully, we need to dive deeper into biological diversity. Emilie Snell-Rood is an Associate Professor in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. Her research considers how organisms deal with environmental variation, from the evolution of learning to reactions to novel toxins. She has developed an interdisciplinary course on biomimetics that brings together students from diverse fields to tackle real-world problems using bioinspiration.
