What this talk is about

The Hang Theory. A lecture series by Hang Dallas.

One speaker. One big idea. One good room.

Where · Hang Dallas HQ.

Natural systems have spent millions of years solving problems humans are only beginning to crack. Dr. MinJun Kim examines how bacterial motility, cellular transport, and other biological mechanisms can inform engineering at the smallest scales.

Dr. Kim's work translates the logic of living systems into practical applications, from single molecule analysis to nanorobotics. The talk offers a look at how nature's existing solutions shape new engineering possibilities.
