国际学生入学条件
Minimum requirements for admission to graduate study:
A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution.
Minimum GPA of 3.0.
Sufficient undergraduate training to undertake graduate work in the chosen field. This includes such undergraduate majors as: biological sciences, structural biology, physics, math, and chemistry. Laboratory experience is highly recommended.
GRE scores. We do not have set requirements for GRE scores. Outstanding GRE scores alone do not guarantee admission, nor do low scores disqualify an applicant. Three letters of recommendation, minimum (up to five are accepted): Letters of recommendation must be submitted online as part of the Graduate Division's application process. Letters are also due Nov 30, so please inform your recommenders of this deadline and give them sufficient advance notice. It is your responsibility to monitor the status of your letters of recommendation (sending prompts, as necessary) in the online system. Unofficial copies of all relevant transcripts, uploaded as part of the online application, Applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination and have their exam scores reported to the University. Top applicants who are being considered for admission will be invited to visit campus for interviews with faculty. If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these)

课程简介
We study the physics of how organisms perform mechanical functions such as locomotion, feeding, or withstanding environmental forces. We work at the interface between biomechanics and comparative physiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, and we conduct our research both in the laboratory and in the field within the natural habitats of the organisms. Experimental and computational techniques from both solid and fluid mechanics are combined to study a variety of problems, including animal locomotion in water, on the ground, and in the air, food capture, chemoreception, and the interplay between mechanical design, neural control, and behavioral responses to physically variable environments. Structure and function of diverse plant and animal taxa are investigated at multiple levels of organization, including tissues, organs and organ systems (e.g., legs, wings, circulatory systems, olfactory organs), whole organisms and their interactions with the physical environment, and biomechanical adaptations over evolutionary time. Physical principles learned in our studies of the biomechanics of organisms are providing inspiration for the design of man-made materials and machines (i.e., biomimetics).
