Bio

Bill (Bor-Kai) was born and grew up in Taiwan. Bill is an academically trained chemist, biomedical scientist and a polymath. He is passionate in his research for new ideas, knowledge and inspirations. The practice of biomimicry as a method of design innovation needs to be built on scientific facts, getting the biology right from the onset of a design challenge is key to the practice of successful biomimicry. Bill’s expertise in biology and biomimetic process is essential to bridge the gaps between biological research and design challenges/applications to find solutions that solve human problems sustainably. Bill is passionate about his local community and technology and is an avid TED conference attendee. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, a skill which Bill uses to translate TEDTalks by adding Traditional Chinese subtitles. Bill has almost 20 years of experience in practicing Chinese Martial Arts.
