Using Computational Biology to Bring Predatory Dinosaurs Back to Life
The proposed programme of research seeks to use state-of-the-art computational techniques to reverse engineer the walking cycle of a predatory dinosaur. Software for image-based modelling, parallel finite element analysis and evolutionary robotics will be coupled and deployed over a computational Grid comprising many thousands of processors. This resource will facilitate a range of unique meta-experiments, enabling new scientific research to be undertaken that would otherwise not be possible. Not only will these experiments provide insight into the evolution of bipedalism or answer questions such as “How fast could T-Rex run?”, they will also lead to the development of computational techniques that may be applied in classical engineering sectors such as the Automotive and Aerospace Industries.
The project is fully funded through a Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship and Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. For further details please contact Dr Lee Margetts (lee.margetts@manchester.ac.uk).
