Arion Pons

Assistant Professor at Fluid Dynamics

Arion’s research focuses on the intersection between uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), biomechanics, and fluid-structure interaction. Research topics include the biomechanics of flying insects; the development of biomimetic flapping-wing UAVs; and the design of novel UAV airframes and equipment. Arion did their masters at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, PhD at the University of Cambridge in the UK, and a postdoc at the Hebrew University in Israel.
