PRESENTATION: Natural swimmers and flyers exhibit exceptional propulsive performance by harnessing complex unsteady flows through mechanisms such as oscillating fish tails and flapping insect wings. To engineer high-performance bio-inspired robots, effective control of propulsors in these unsteady regimes is essential. However, this control problem is challenging due to two primary difficulties: 1) the high-dimensional parameter space governing...

As a team, Penn & Nura bring a unique and refreshing perspective, analyzing and unpacking the interplay of media and social science. Together they seek to explore how we are having conversations both with those in our immediate circles, and also with the wider society. They are eager to engage in a constructive dialogue exploring how to shift our style of discourse from one of contention to one of cohesion and collaboration.
