| The
Shadwick Biomechanics Laboratory is under the direction of Dr.
Robert Shadwick in the Department of The Scripps Institution of
Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. Located in La Jolla,
California, our lab studies marine biomechanics. The goal of the
Shadwick Biomechanics Laboratory is to understand functionality in
the marine environment- functionality as determined by
locomotion and energetics, morphology, and biomaterials. It is
our hope that a quantitative understanding of the processes in
nature will lead to beneficial applications in industrial
applications. Our lab is located on the
2nd floor of Hubbs Hall and is equipped with facilities for
videography, microscopy, materials testing, and biochemistry.
Our collaborators have made Molecular Biology resources in their
labs available to us. There is a machine shop nearby (in addition to
our in-house collection of tools and equipment) where we can
fabricate equipment as needed.
