Mathias Kolle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His research focuses on biologically inspired tunable optical materials, scalable manufacturing of optical materials, and morphogenesis of biological photonic structures. Kolle has contributed significantly to the field of optics and photonics, exploring areas such as biomimetics, bioimaging, and the development of instrumentation techniques. His work has resulted in innovative solutions such as a mirrored chip that enables the visualization of difficult-to-image biological organisms and mathematical models that predict the stability of knots in materials. Kolle's interdisciplinary approach blends engineering with biological principles to push the boundaries of material science and optical technology. He holds degrees from Saarland University (M.Sc.) and the University of Cambridge (Ph.D.) and has been recognized with multiple awards throughout his career.
