Bird Flight Research Center

(co-run with Dr. Michelle Hawkins)

A purpose-built space for studying real animal flight and translating those insights into agile aerial robots. We combine controlled indoor flight trials with motion capture, high-speed video, and rapid prototyping to test bio-informed designs.

UC Davis Aeronautical Wind Tunnel

(co-run with Dr. Camli Badrya)

A university wind-tunnel facility for precision aerodynamic testing of airfoils, morphing wings, and small UAV platforms. Researchers and students use it to measure forces, pressures, and flow behavior to validate models and refine designs.
