Short biography

Professor Michael Triantafyllou is the Henry L. and Grace Doherty Professor in Ocean Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Director of the MIT Sea Grant Program. He teaches and has published extensively journal articles and refereed conference papers in the areas of biomimetics, dynamics and control of marine systems, and experimental fluid mechanics. He pioneered the development of science-driven biomimetic robots to study the basic mechanisms of flow control that lead to the outstanding agility of fish and cetaceans. He is currently studying the physics of flow sensing in fish and marine mammals to achieve super-maneuverability in ocean vehicles through flow feedback control.

Professor Michael Triantafyllou is a precious scientific advisor of NTNU AMOS on bio-inspired research and will be at the Department of Marine Technology from 6^th to 9^th November, room C2.072.
