About a decade ago, our team began studying how a tiny backyard insect produces microscopic, hollow particles—called brochosomes—that control how light reflects and scatters, enabling natural camouflage. We uncovered how the shape of these particles governs their optical behavior and, most recently, developed the first biomimetic strategy to manufacture brochosome-like particles at scale. This talk will highlight how this platform is opening new opportunities across sustainable materials, biomedical devices, and advanced optical technologies.
