Perhaps Ristroph’s most famous contribution is the invention of a “No,” he said
Ristroph’s research often starts with seemingly simple or whimsical questions that lead to deep scientific insights. His lab is known for using "countertop" apparatuses to solve complex problems that historically required massive wind tunnels.
