We are pleased to announce research and PhD opportunities in Bioinspired Engineering and Technologies, with a particular emphasis on green energy production and robotics.
Our group is currently working on several challenging and high-impact areas, including:
#1. Bio-signal-based realistic control of prosthetics for rehabilitation
#2. Bio-inspired wind turbine blade design for energy harvesting from moving vehicles
#3. Research on e-VTOL systems
#4. Development of UUVs for ocean plastic cleaning
Hi all,
We would like to invite you to attend an upcoming presentation:
"Damage Sensing Digital Twin for Piezocomposites Integrating Neural Operator with Parametrically Upscaled Constitutive Damage Model"
The talk will be given by Dr. Yangyuanchen Liu from Johns Hopkins University.
The seminar will be held April 17, 2026, 11:30 AM -12:30 PM EDT.
