In this episode of On the GRID, we sit down with Professor Marc Desmulliez to discuss how nature can inspire the next generation of engineering solutions. From dandelion seeds guiding the design of battery-free drones to sawflies inspiring innovations in surgical tools we explore the innovations happening around us everyday.

Marc is a Professor of Microsystems Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, based in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, and a leading researcher in Nature Inspired Solutions. His work focuses on how natural systems use minimal resources, ambient conditions, and elegant design principles to achieve extraordinary complexity and efficiency.  

Sit back, relax and let's learn something new together.
