Themes

Netta has held Advanced Research and Leadership Fellowships from the EPSRC (EP/C011961, EP/J004057) and leads distributed and biorobotic control tasks on EP/N010523.

Cohen’s research lies at the interface of the physics, biology and engineering and combines biological experiments, computational modelling, and biorobotic applications. Her interests lie in better understanding the role of embodiment in dynamic control and mechanisms for adaptive, distributed and stochastic sensing and actuation. Cohen leads distributed and biorobotic control tasks on Self Repairing Cities (EP/N010523) and has held EPSRC Advanced Research and EPSRC Leadership Fellowships (EP/C011961, EP/J004057).
