Mimi A. R. Koehl is an American marine biologist, biomechanist, and professor at University of California, Berkeley,[1] and head of the Koehl Lab.[2] She was a MacArthur Fellow in 1990.
Education
[edit]M. A. R. Koehl graduated from Gettysburg College magna cum laude, with a B.A. in biology, and Duke University with a Ph.D. in zoology, where she studied with Stephen A. Wainwright. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Friday Harbor Laboratories, University of Washington, where she studied with Richard R. Strathmann, and at University of York, where she studied with John Currey.
Research
[edit]Koehl broadly studies how body structure and physical environment affect an organism's mechanical function in nature, looking across many levels of biological organization. Scientific techniques utilized in Koehl's laboratory range from fluid and solid mechanics to ecological quadrat sampling.
