DESCRIPTION:Prof. Petros Koumoutsakos\, ETHZ\nFor centuries engineers have
  saught inspirations from nature in designing their creations. \nAlong wit
 h the immitation of biological forms I suggest that bio-inspired algorithm
 s  are a potent complement to engineering optimization. In this talk I wil
 l present  a  systematic  framework for developing such algorithms based o
 n diverse biological concepts. I will discuss bio-inspired  algorithms  in
  the context of their application to flow problems with an emphasis on sel
 f-propelled swimmers.
