Itai Cohen on building microrobots, collaborating across disciplines and taming fear
Update: 2024-12-02
Description
Academia can be a very siloed place, but Itai Cohen, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, has managed to work on an incredibly eclectic range of projects, from studying the neuroscience behind insect flight, to making origami-like solar materials that wrap buildings, to creating tiny diffractive microrobots that can probe the microscopic world. He reflects on where his diverse interests and collaborations have led him, and the role that fear played in the evolution of his scientific trajectory.
