Assistant Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering
Princeton University
“Crowd Control: Swarm Engineering for Medicine & Biotechnology”
Daniel is returning to Princeton University as a new professor in the MAE Department, having earned his BSE in Mechanical Engineering – and completed joint Bioengineering doctoral work at UC Berkeley and UCSF, and post-doctoral training in Biology at Stanford. After research spanning bio-inspired robotics, dinosaur mechanics, genetic engineering, surgical implant design and nanotechnology, his focus has now turned to tissue engineering and biomaterials design: applying concepts from swarm theory (bird flocking and sheep herding) to develop new biomedical tools and techniques. After introducing swarm theory and its application to cellular systems, his talk will feature case studies from bioelectricity, biomaterials and machine learning that demonstrate how applying “swarm engineering” may transform how we: interact with living cells, heal ourselves and understand diseases.

In 2012, Evans led PA3 members in a fascinating
precept-like session discussing the complex diplomacy between the DPRK, the USA
and China. Clearly, this issue has moved
to the forefront of foreign policy concerns, and Evans remains deeply involved.
We're most fortunate that he has agreed to revisit this topic with PA3. Space
is limited, so please RSVP to Tom Swift at tswift@alumni.princeton.edu.
