Mechanical Biomimetics and Open Science (MeBOS) Lab

[Past Projects]

Dr. Hunter King and Kelly Siman


The King lab, as part of the Biomimicry Research and Innovation Center (BRIC) within Integrated Biosciences and the Polymer Science departments focuses on highly interdisciplinary research, with a focus on open-source and biomimetic innovations.  Current opportunities include work on the lab’s DIY Spectrometer for water quality monitoring, and the physics of plant and animal structures: passive ventilation of invertebrate nests, bird nest mechanics and bio-inspired moisture collection experiments.  Research scopes and areas of opportunity include: analytical chemistry; soft matter and non-equilibrium physics; image and data analysis; software, website and app design; and water policy and governance.
