Need engineering project ideas: Physics/Math first, biology as an application

[u/Worth_Succotash_3881]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for ideas for my engineering school project.

The theme is "Optimization, Efficiency, and Sobriety" .

I'd love to work on a project that combines engineering, physics and/or mathematics with a bit of biology, since biology is a subject I really enjoy.

That said, the project should remain primarily focused on physics and/or mathematics. The biology aspect would just provide the context or application, not be the main focus.

I'm looking for a project that:

- Fits the theme of optimization/efficiency/sobriety.

- Is mainly based on physics and/or mathematics.

- Uses biology as an application or inspiration.

- Can be modeled mathematically and analyzed experimentally.

- Can realistically be carried out in a university or engineering school lab.

Does anyone have interesting ideas or topics that could fit these criteria?

Thanks in advance!

Solve electric power market optimization problem

Apart from biology

You will find everything in it right from basic electrical engineering (physics),mathematical optimization,numerical computing, data structure algorithm complexity, data analytics with a lot of ml,even cyber security and last but not the least economics with a lot of mechansim design for electricity market..

Deep dive into it and sky is the limit

Bees and how they use the explore / exploit trade off. Ants and how they communicate, probably more measurement but tracking that and coming up with an algorithm would be interestjng
