Michael Dickinson Biography

Some things are so normal that we don't even notice them. Michael Dickinson has devoted most of his study to one of these topics: fly flying. Dickinson wants to know how a fly's neural system enables it to do such amazing aerodynamic feats. Dickinson's study combines biology, neurology, and fluid dynamics, earning him the nickname "The Fly Guy" from The Scientist. In 2001, Dickinson was designated a MacArthur Fellow. He is presently the director of The Dickinson Lab at the University of Washington, where he is a professor of biology. The lab performs research on insect flight control, animal brain recordings, animal/robot interfaces, and animal visual navigation, and students interested in researching insect flying, behavior, and evolution from an interdisciplinary viewpoint are invited to apply.
