Aizenberg’s research focuses on the structures of biological materials. She then tries to replicate their design in the lab using engineering techniques. “The idea is to take biologic principles, understand them, and then try to resimulate it...and come up with a new, synthetic, man-made material that replicates these biological principles,” Aizenberg says. “I am looking...
