"Biomechanical Mechanisms of Fluidic Pumping in Insects"

Invited Speaker: Jake Socha, Virginia Tech

Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics

 

Hosted by Virginia Abernathy

 

Insects use multiple mechanisms to transport fluids within the body. In this talk, I’ll discuss our studies of insect respiratory, circulatory, and feeding systems, which integrate a range of methods including synchrotron imaging, material testing, and classical physiological techniques.

 

Dr. Jake Socha is the Samuel Herrick Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and biology from Duke University in 1994 and a Ph.D. in biology (with a focus on biomechanics) from the University of Chicago in 2002.
