The Biomimicry and Structural Engineering Research Group is a research group that focuses on applying principles of biomimicry and using natural systems as inspiration for structural engineering design. The group investigates and explores how biological systems and structures found in nature can inform the design and construction of innovative and sustainable buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.
The group conducts research, collaborates with industry partners, and provides education and training in the field of biomimicry and structural engineering. They aim to develop new design strategies that optimize structural performance, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability by mimicking nature's efficient and adaptive structures and processes.
Some areas of research and development may include biomimetic materials, bio-inspired structural systems, natural disaster-resistant infrastructures, and sustainable construction practices. By leveraging the knowledge from biological systems, the Biomimicry and Structural Engineering Research Group seeks to contribute to the advancement of structural engineering design and create more resilient and environmentally friendly built environments.
