Inspiration from nature has produced some fascinating, novel, and life changing solutions for the human world. Most of these bio-inspired designs however have been product based, but taking a systems perspective when we look to nature taps inspirations that can improve the critical networks we depend on. This talk focuses on biological ecosystems in particular, complex networks of interacting species that are able to support individual needs while maintaining system-level functions during both times of abundance and unexpected disturbances.

Fluid flows subject to time-dependent external forces or boundary conditions are ubiquitous in aeronautical applications. Whether one considers pitching wings, dynamic stall or the gust response of wind turbines, the flow is unsteady or non-autonomous. We investigate the influence of unsteadiness on the non-linearflow evolution, as well as on the linear response to small disturbances that determines their stability and the subsequent transition to turbulence.
Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is a specific ocean CDR approach that can locally reverse ocean acidification and draw additional CO2 from the air into oceanic bicarbonate where it is stored for over10,000 years, mimicking the Earth’s natural mechanism for regulating the atmospheric CO2 concentration. In this talk, I will review the latest results from my group on electrochemical ocean alkalinity enhancement and describe the efforts to commercialize this technology at Ebb Carbon, Inc.
