Link: :: Material Beliefs :: Interview with Julian Vincent.
Julian's current interests are related to how problems in processing are solved in biology in comparison with technology, "at present there is only a 10% overlap between biology and technology in terms of the mechanisms used". In technology 70% involve manipulation of energy and in biology most important is the use and manipulation of information, from DNA to pheromones.
The 11.5 minute interview by Susana Soares covers Prof. Vincent's research into how biological and technical systems 'solve' problems along with practical applications of biological methods and systems to engineering. Additional detail can be found in the Resources weblog post.
