About

Andrew Biewener is the Lyman Professor of Biology at Harvard University, United States. His research focuses on biomechanics, energetics, and ecology of locomotion, with recent publications examining the maneuverability of hummingbirds, joint shape-function relationships, and muscle dynamics in birds. He integrates insights from biology, modeling, and robotics to explore stability and maneuverability in animal movement.
