*/Abstract /*
The research on developmental designfocuses oninvestigating the inherent 
principles to map functions onto structures by simulating the 
developmental mechanisms that take place inan embryo.The developmental 
mechanisms, includinginduction, gene transcription and commitment, are 
used to develop design conceptsfrom initial function specifications to 
structural parameters. Developmental design is a promising solution for 
biomimicryand autonomous design. Particularly, embryogenesis-inspired 
design drawsonintuitively graspable epistemological foundation for 
conceptual design. The talkbegins with a brief review of the development 
process of an embryo and of a developmental design framework, and then 
discussesembryogenesis-inspired mechanisms, the modeling of the 
mechanisms, and the design experiments.


*/About the speaker/*

Dr. HOU Yuemin obtained her Ph.D from Tsinghua University on June of 
2005. Her research interests includes Biologically-inspired design 
theory and computing, Dynamical analysis and optimal design of systems, 
Multidisciplinary representation and modeling for design, analysis and 
optimization of systems, Design and neural control of intelligent 
systems, and Design and modeling of creativity-oriented public spaces. 
She has published more than 40 research papers as the first and 
corresponding authors, and delivered presentations at many international 
conferences including conferences held in France, Germany, Italy, USA, 
and Japan, and gave invited plenary lectures at conferences. She has 
completed and is conducting more than 10 research projects as principal 
investigator and main researcher. These projects covers the bio-inspired 
design and algorithm for multidisciplinary design; dynamics analysis of 
mechanical systems and elements including bearings, rotors, gears and 
small satellites; neural model for design, neural network control, the 
design and optimization of mechanical systems and devices, etc.. 
Currently, she is working on four granted projects.
