IaaC Lecture Series 2009-10 <Julian Vincent

Julian Vincent is a biologist who spent the early part of his career working on the physiology of insects.  He then became interested in the mechanical properties of the materials from which insects are made, an interest which broadened into experimental work on materials and structures from plants and animals and a variety of foods.  Finally he realised that biological materials are better in many ways than technical materials and has spent the last 15 years working out how to bridge the gaps between biology and engineering.  This has taken him into areas of architecture, design and general methods for solving problems.
