My name is Amir Behbahani. I’m a mechanical engineer who got interested in studying biological systems. When I watch animals, I try not only to learn how they do their daily activities but also how their behavior can guide me to help people to have a better life.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at Michael Dickinson Lab at the division of Biology and Biological Engineering (BBE) at California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, USA.
