معرفی
Dr. Kelsey Lucas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science. Her research program in ecological biomechanics investigates how fish swimming mechanics influence behavior, energetics, and habitat selection. She examines how body morphology and movement dynamics determine swimming performance across species and environments.
Her work integrates biomechanical measurements with ecological context to understand habitat occupancy patterns in freshwater systems. This research provides biomimetic insights for underwater vehicle design while assessing environmental impacts on fish populations.
Dr. Lucas teaches courses including Vertebrate Zoology, Animal Physiology, and Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. Her lab website provides additional information about ongoing research projects and publications.
