Adam Summers works in comparative biomechanics, focusing on the study of non-human animals and their various locomotion and respiration methods. His research encompasses a wide range of questions regarding different species, examining how turtles feed, how fishes attach to rocks, the skeletal structures of amphibians, and the wing flaps of stingrays. To achieve this, he employs a suite of techniques including 3-D imaging, digital animation, mathematical modeling, and physical experimentation. Beyond his research, Summers is a strong advocate for public outreach in science. For eight years, he wrote a column on biomechanics for Natural History magazine, and his work has also been featured in American Science and Nature Writing.
