About S. N. Patek

S. N. Patek, With an exceptional h-index of 39 and a recent h-index of 30 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Duke University, specializes in the field of comparative biomechanics, evolution, animal physiology, bioacoustics, spring latch systems.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Geometric latches enable tuning of ultrafast, spring-propelled movements

Tradeoffs explain scaling, sex differences, and seasonal oscillations in the remarkable weapons of snapping shrimp (Alpheus spp.)

Spring and latch dynamics can act as control pathways in ultrafast systems

A century of comparative biomechanics: emerging and historical perspectives on an interdisciplinary field

Latch-mediated spring actuation (LaMSA): the power of integrated biomechanical systems

Mantis shrimp locomotion: coordination and variation of hybrid metachronal swimming

Developing elastic mechanisms: ultrafast motion and cavitation emerge at the millimeter scale in juvenile snapping shrimp

Through the looking glass: attempting to predict future opportunities and challenges in experimental biology
