The ultimate goal of my research program is to answer two intertwined questions: 1) How do birds incorporate sensory information from the head, body, and wings, and generate motor commands for controlling the flapping motion and dynamic shape of wings in response to aerodynamic challenges? 2) How do mechanisms of flight control shape the evolution of flight and diversity of flight performance in birds? Flying birds must modulate and balance force with extreme precision to perform different behaviours, but how birds do this is not well understood. Aerodynamic force is determined by air density (ρ), wing velocity (

我的研究计划的最终目标是回答两个交织在一起的问题：1）鸟类如何整合来自头部，身体和翅膀的感官信息，并产生运动指令来控制翅膀的拍动运动和动态形状，以应对空气动力学挑战？2)飞行控制机制如何塑造鸟类飞行的进化和飞行表现的多样性？飞行的鸟类必须极其精确地调节和平衡力量以执行不同的行为，但鸟类如何做到这一点还不清楚。气动力由空气密度（ρ）、机翼速度（
