The Biomimicry and Humanitarian Design Research Group is a team of researchers, scientists, engineers, and designers who are interested in applying the principles of biomimicry and humanitarian design to solve various socio-environmental challenges.
Biomimicry is the practice of emulating nature's strategies and processes to create sustainable and innovative solutions for human problems. By studying and learning from nature, researchers in this group aim to develop technologies, materials, and systems that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and in harmony with the natural world.
Humanitarian design, on the other hand, focuses on designing solutions that address the needs of disadvantaged communities and vulnerable populations. It involves creating products, technologies, and systems that are affordable, accessible, and can improve the quality of life for people in resource-constrained settings.
The Biomimicry and Humanitarian Design Research Group combines the principles of both biomimicry and humanitarian design to explore and develop sustainable and socially responsible solutions. They conduct research, develop prototypes, and collaborate with communities, NGOs, and businesses to implement and scale their innovations for positive societal impact.
