BioFuture Research Group
Fritz-Olaf Lehmann Lab
University of Ulm
Investigation of Insect Flight Mechanics, Aerodynamics, Energetics and Control
The primary research interests include the mechanics, aerodynamics, behaviour and energetics of insect flight. Recent investigations have considered insect respiration in response to metabolic need, muscle efficiency, unsteady low Reynolds number aerodynamics and control of wingbeat kinematics. The aim of the BioFuture research group is to tackle biological questions using an integrated approach combining techniques from different disciplines, such as Biomechanics, Robotics, Fluid Mechanics, Genetics, Comparative Animal Physiology and Theoretical Modelling. The primary goal in this multi-disciplinary analysis is to characterise insect flight at every level from genetic impacts to aerodynamic mechanisms.
