P. Koumoutsakos Professor and Chair of Computational ScienceETHZurich, SwitzerlandandMillikan Visiting ProfessorCaltechPasadena, CA For centuries engineers have sought inspirations from nature in designing their creations. Along with the imitation of biological forms we may consider biological processes as optimization algorithms for engineering devices. In this talk I will present a framework for developing algorithms based on concepts such as biological evolution and bacteria chemotaxis. I will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of these algorithms in the context of their application to problems such as the multiobjective optimization of turbomachinery test rings and the reverse engineering of simulated anguiliform swimmers.
