Research Interests
My general interest is aquatic robotics and my research falls into two broad areas:
- The development of intelligent platforms and vehicles to enable new and exciting research in the aquatic sciences.
- Learning from nature. Fish and other aquatic creatures can be viewed as high performance underwater vehicles.
I study the biomechanics and control of
aquatic animals in order to learn biological design principles that may be
useful for developing novel aquatic robots.
