Ayan Das, Mechanical Engineering Graduate Student
Congratulations to Ayan Das who was awarded the prestigious Connie Frank Fellowship from UC Santa Barbara’s Graduate Division to pursue interdisciplinary biomedical research with applications to human health and well-being. The fellowship will support Ayan's summer research, in which he aims to understand how living or life-like materials generate motion and transmit force in ways that can be understood, predicted, and eventually harnessed.
