The guest of this episode is Dr. Niels Holten-Andersen. Niels is a professor of the program in polymers and soft matter at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In this conversation, Niels and Amal took a deep dive into the world of biomimetic materials. Specifically, Niels shared his knowledge in mussel adhesion and transient mechanics of biological materials. Since Amal and Niels carry a mutual interest in biological adhesives, some parts of the conversation are a little technical. Please bear with it. From this conversation, you will learn a lot more about the fascinating field of mussel adhesion from this conversation. Being an avid traveler himself, Niels also shared his perspectives on working in the west, midwest, and northeast of the United States. I am a fan of Niels’s philosophy towards research and had fun hearing from him. I am sure that you will also feel the same. Please enjoy the episode!
