Stingers and Ovipositors

Analysis of micro injection and drilling systems of insects for application in targeted drug delivery

This project investigates insect ovipositors and stingers—micro penetration devices with diverse morphologies adapted to different substrates. Using high-speed imaging, SEM, and micro-CT, it explores biomechanics and material properties to design a bioinspired medical microneedle. The research bridges biology and engineering, enabling future innovations in bio-inspired device design.
