Daytona Beach Biologically Inspired Design for Resilience

The Biologically Inspired Design-for-Resilience (BID4R) Lab at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University applies design methodology, systems engineering and complex system modeling to develop biologically inspired solutions that enhance the resilience of systems, systems of systems and multi-agent networks. Our mission is to equip Embry-Riddle graduates with expertise in engineering, critical thinking and leadership, drive innovative solutions that protect industries and communities from disruption, and expand biologically inspired design as a transformative approach to tackling complex engineering challenges.

Biologically Inspired Design-for-Resilience Lab asks that you help support their master's students. There are currently four master's students who are volunteering in the lab, conducting research on biologically inspired resilience in complex systems. Their work focuses on developing innovative approaches to infrastructure design, multi-agent coordination and disaster response. Additionally, the BID4R Lab seeks to enable students to attend major conferences such as ASEE, INCOSE IS, and CSER. Student papers that have been accepted at these conferences explore novel methodologies for improving system resilience and decision-making. This funding would ensure students have the opportunity to present their work, engage with experts in the field and advance their academic and professional development.
