ROSARIO LAB

Elasticity is important to organisms of all sizes across the tree of life. Elastic structures help kangaroos recycle energy while hopping, allow turkeys to limit power into their muscles while landing, and enable mantis shrimp to store energy in their exoskeleton before striking with incredibly fast accelerations. In the Rosario lab, we combine physical testing and computer simulations to study elastic mechanisms in biology.
