The Nov. 2 speaker is Cailin Casey, a doctoral student in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, who uses high-tech methods to see how flying insects could inform advances in engineering. Casey is a third-year PhD student who leverages her cross disciplinary studies to understand the role of the thorax cuticle in insect flight by examining its microscale properties and performing macroscale mechanical testing. She graduated with a B.A in biology and Spanish and a minor in mathematics from Gettysburg College. OPI Renewal Unit Provider |
