ABOUT MICHAEL'S WORK
Michael Dickinson is a biologist whose research is unraveling the mysteries of insect flight. Dickinson’s investigations integrate a wide variety of scientific disciplines – muscle physiology, comparative anatomy, aerodynamics, biomechanics, neuroscience, and behavior – in an effort to produce a comprehensive understanding of this complex animal activity. He developed a robotic-fly model in which each of the parameters of wing movement could be carefully controlled and their effects on aerodynamics assessed. To understand how the fly’s brain controls these aerodynamic properties, Dickinson constructed a "virtual reality" arena where tethered flies can be subjected to a variety of visual and rotational stimuli in order to measure the compensatory neural responses.

BIOGRAPHY
Michael Dickinson received a Sc.B. (1984) from Brown University and a Ph.D. (1989) from the University of Washington. He is the Zarem Professor of Bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology. Previously, he was on the faculty of the Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago (1991-96) and a professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley (1996-2002).

关于迈克尔的工作
迈克尔-迪金森是一位生物学家,他的研究是揭开昆虫飞行的奥秘。迪金森的研究整合了各种科学学科--肌肉生理学、比较解剖学、空气动力学、生物力学、神经科学和行为学--以努力对这种复杂的动物活动产生全面的理解。他开发了一个机器人苍蝇模型,其中翅膀运动的每个参数都可以被仔细控制,并评估它们对空气动力学的影响。为了了解苍蝇的大脑是如何控制这些空气动力学特性的,迪金森建造了一个 "虚拟现实 "的舞台,拴住的苍蝇可以受到各种视觉和旋转的刺激,以测量补偿性神经反应。

个人简历
迈克尔-迪金森在布朗大学获得理学学士学位(1984年),在华盛顿大学获得博士学位(1989年)。他是加州理工学院生物工程的Zarem教授。此前,他曾在芝加哥大学的有机体生物学和解剖学系任教(1991-96),并在加州大学伯克利分校担任综合生物学教授(1996-2002)。
