Jonathan Voise

Jonathan Voise is a Researcher at the Institute of Research on Insect Biology (IRBI) since 2007, focusing on the physical ecology of aquatic insects and echolocation mechanisms in whirligig beetles (Gyrinus substriatus).

• His research characterizes leg kinematics and capillary wave resistance in swimming beetles.
• He explores the interplay between fluid resistance, wave resistance, and echolocation for object detection on water surfaces.

His 2009 publication with Prof. Jérôme Casas details experiments on wave dynamics and energy efficiency in beetle locomotion.

• Research Trends: Combines fluid mechanics with insect sensory biology.
• Key Themes: Wave propagation, surface tension adaptation, and bioinspired engineering.
