       “This professorship, which came out of a generous donation, is crucial for advancing my research in bio-inspired research as well as facilitating other exciting collaborative research at Ingenuity Labs. The fund will allow me to recruit new graduate students in both biomechanics and robotics and build up a world-class lab that will provide unique training opportunities to my students and students within Ingenuity Labs. As an Early Career Researcher who is also, like many others, struggling to advance research during the pandemic, the professorship gives me the vital opportunity to develop the research lab culture and space critical to my work.”
