Adaptive Biological Networks
Transport networks are vital to the infrastructure of our current industrial society, enabling the efficient travel of resources, people, and data. In spite of their significance, the conception of these networks lacks a guiding methodology, with a majority being limited by the most pressing concerns at the time of their construction. Previously, the notion of…

Seismic Consideration in Structural Design
Like puzzle pieces, Earth’s outermost layer is composed of tectonic plates that shift and collide against one another, accumulating stress over time. As the friction is overcome, an accumulation of seismic energy is suddenly released in the form of an earthquake (Kukowski, 2016). But while natural quakes destroy buildings, how have engineers worked to create…
