The course is open to graduate students and senior undergraduate students from all engineering, natural science, physical science, and data science backgrounds. The course content is structured around six units, each of which uses current research and peer-reviewed literature to explore in modest depth an example of biological or bio-inspired feedback control and some of the mathematical and physical models/tools that can be used to design and/or analyze the systems.
The class meets two days a week for 1h 45m each day, on Boston University's Charles River Campus. The expected enrollment range is 20-35 students. Students come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds including biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, and other programs.
