  Our lab uses biomimetics to relate complex biological functions to simple physical properties, enabling us to engineer smarter functional soft materials. In particular, we investigate how plants use couplings between flow, colloids, and hydrogels to regulate nutrient distribution, stress responses, and even move themselves. We then harvest these physics to design novel materials for passive control over batch flows, water distribution, and soft robotics.
