<p>To this end, I started by establishing a computational framework for the modeling and simulation of complex musculoskeletal architectures.
This framework pioneers the use of one-dimensional, elastic slender body assemblies (via Cosserat rods theory)
to construct active, heterogeneous, and three-dimensional biological layouts. I have demonstrated the utility of this approach across biophysical scenarios, scales, and
environment, from human joints to full-scale aquatic, terrestrial and aerial creatures (left image). I futher combine it with theory to
environment, from human joints to full-scale aquatic, terrestrial and aerial creatures. I futher combine it with theory to
reveal a unified mechanism that explains the natural gait selection of limbless locomotion of snakes, and deploy it for engineering control. </p>

<p>In conjunction with compuatational endeavors, I also combine the musculoskeletal solver with evolutionary algorithms to aid in
the design and realization of both walking and swimming bio-hybrid robots. These systems combine living materials
(muscles and neurons) with artificial scaffolds to achieve autonomous and controlled locomotion.
Recapitulating the musculoskeletal features encountered in nature, they also represent ideal
platforms to probe principles of biological control, sensing and actuation. (<i>Image credits - Left: Gelson Pagan-Diaz, Right: Jiaojiao Wang</i>)</p>
