Join host Pranet Sharma as he sits down with guest Dr. Ashwin Ramchandran, a biomedical engineer and a postdoc at Princeton University, to discuss the intersection of astronomy and biomedical engineering. Topics include: the interdisciplinary nature of engineering, how engineering is essential for maintaining spacecraft integrity, the ways that understanding human perception is necessary for journeys in space, why the core biology of humans is necessary to be understood for astrophysical endeavors, how biology and astronomy share their core in the understanding of microscopic and macroscopic ideals respectively, how fluid dynamics is the cornerstone connecting biomedical engineering and astrophysics, the various dimensionality of fluids and their applicability, Navier-Stokes, the ways that physics is essential for biology's development, the importance of considering science as a large field on its own, and why one should always be fearless in following one's passions.
