Michael Ishida

My name is Michael Ishida! I'm a posdoctoral researcher in the Bio-Inspired Robotics Lab at the University of Cambridge.
Previously, I was a graduate student in the Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab at UC San Diego and a National Defense Science and Engineering (NDSEG) Fellow sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. 

My research focuses on locomotion of robots inspired by aquatic animals like fish and sea stars. I believe that non-traditional robotics techniques informed by biology will help us with the challenge of operating in a variety of environments.
