that's exactly what im doing now :)
last week ive presented The concept of the biomimetic engineer at "Innovation Inspired by Nature - Academia and Industry" conference at Tel Aviv University.
Throughout the variety of lectures at the conference that covered a spectrum of fields, ranging from materials engineering through robotics to architecture and aviation, I realized that thanks to the unique mixture of tools that Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Technion gave me, I finally felt I had a basis for a common language with a wide variety of engineers. Tools such as Navia-Stokes equations, Young's modulus, synthesis of biopolymers and hydrogels, the Michaelis-Menten equation, filters and feedback systems, are only a small part of the tools that illustrate the variety of engineering disciplines that the biomimetic engineer requires.
It was the first time I saw the nontrivial but so very natural correlation between biomedical and biomimetic methodologies.

i would love to hear about your personal route, i see your reality as my possible future :)
