Michel Maharbiz, an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, has developed a wirelessly controlled beetle that could one day be used for surveillance or search-and-rescue missions.
Maharbiz received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley for his work on microbioreactor systems under Professor Roger T. Howe and Professor Jay D. Keasling.
Dr. Maharbiz has been a GE Scholar and an Intel IMAP Fellow. Professor Maharbiz's current research interests include building micro/nano interfaces to cells and organisms and exploring bio-derived fabrication methods. Michel’s long term goal is understanding developmental mechanisms as a way to engineer and fabricate machines.
