TRANSPORT IN FLUID FLOW

Flow velocity, tube and network architecture, and reaction kinetics act together to control transport along tubes and entire networks.

FLOW NETWORK ADAPTATION

Active flow networks like our vasculature adapt in network architecture and function to the flow and resources pervading them.

SELF-ORGANIZING MECHANICS

Mechanical properties change in response to (bio-)chemical or mechanical signals thereby self-organizing tissue layout and organ function.

SMART BEHAVIOR

Memories and decisions that give rise to complex behavior emerge from mechano-chemical coupling orchestrated by flow in slime mold Physarum polycephalum.
