The Urban Coast Institute (UCI) has awarded a Faculty Enrichment Grant to Monmouth University’s Associate Professor Veronica Davidov to continue her research on biomimicry, which involves emulating natural processes and forms to address human challenges. Davidov’s research focuses on the cultural context of biomimicry and its potential for sustainability. The grant will fund her next phase of research, which will examine the role of water and water-based chemistry in biomimicry. This will involve conducting interviews with experts, collaborating with student researchers, and attending a Biomimicry Institute workshop in 2025. The UCI’s Faculty Enrichment Grants support individual and collaborative projects that enhance curriculum, research, and scholarship, and are open to faculty and student researchers from all disciplines. The grant is funded by the Heidi Lynn Sculthorpe Scholars program, which aims to promote research, education, and collaboration to support healthy and productive coastal ecosystems and resilient communities.
