About
Annalisa Rossi is a rising leader in the field of bio-inspired robotics and fluid dynamics, with a primary focus on the locomotion of soft, undulating systems. Her most celebrated contribution, the 2024 paper “Eel-like robot swims more efficiently with increasing joint amplitudes compared to constant joint amplitudes,” has already garnered 4 citations and earned the prestigious 2023 American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Gallery of Fluid Motion Award. This award-winning work, presented at the DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion, demonstrates a counterintuitive principle: that eel-like robots achieve greater swimming efficiency by varying their joint amplitudes rather than maintaining constant ones. Rossi’s research bridges fundamental fluid mechanics and practical robotic design, offering key insights for the development of agile, energy-efficient underwater vehicles. Her findings have direct implications for marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and soft robotics. By combining rigorous experimental analysis with visually compelling demonstrations, Rossi is shaping how engineers approach the design of flexible, animal-inspired swimmers. Her work continues to inspire both fluid dynamicists and roboticists, marking her as a promising and innovative voice in her field.
