Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Dear Eliot Graeff, my suggestion is to to contact the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces - Golm - Potsdam - Germany. They have the IMPRS (International Max-Planck Research School) on Biomimetic Systems. My Regards

Mariappan Jawaharlal

There is a biomimicry group in Pune that works with the Biomimicry Institute. You may want to reach out to them.

Eliot Graeff

Dear Dr. Abdelkader BOUAZIZ and Dr. Mariappan Jawaharlal

Thank you for your responses !

Best Regards,

The Institute For Biodigital Architecture & Genetics at the International University Of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain (http://www.biodigitalarchitecture.com/information.html) and The MAP-MAACC-CNRS Laboratory at the ENSAPLV in Paris, France (https://www.maacc.archi.fr/spip.php?article256) would be two good places to start looking. They both have Biomimetics as part of their curriculum as specializations (UIC) and Subjects (MAP-MAACC).
