Chris Roh is an Assistant Professor in Biological Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. His research focuses on the well-adapted interactions of insects with their abiotic and biotic surroundings, which inspire innovative engineering designs. He studies fluid mechanics and has a profound interest in how the primary abiotic components of nature—like air and water—interact with the unique morphological and behavioral adaptations of insects. His main research interest is in applying the findings from these studies to various engineering disciplines, including agricultural, biomedical, and aeronautical engineering. Roh teaches courses that cover the fundamentals of fluid dynamics while integrating biological concepts, revealing how the physical rules governing fluid flow exert selective pressure during evolution. His teaching aims to convey the important discoveries in fluid dynamics and the associated biological principles used by organisms to evolve innovative solutions to challenges posed by fluid environments.
