Caltech assistant professor of aeronautics and bioengineering John Dabiri presented a Watson Lecture called "Jellyfish-Inspired Engineering." Recently named one of Popular Science magazine's "Brilliant 10," Dabiri described how his biology-inspired approach to engineering has placed jellyfish at the center of efforts to build next-generation underwater vehicles, to design more versatile onshore wind power, and even to diagnose heart failure.
