About
Nana Obayashi is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the Tandon School of Engineering of New York University. Her expertise lies in design optimization of robots that exploit soft body-fluid interactions, a topic that sits at the intersection of robotics and aerospace engineering. Her focus is on developing bio-inspired soft robots that interact with and exploit the fluids to exhibit intelligent behaviors as well as be robust and efficient in the natural environment, accomplished through novel robotic platforms and methods like large-scale experimentation, data-driven design, and fluids analysis.
