‘I’m passionate about science, design and helping people’
Hugh Herr (52), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor of Bionics, does not just design any technology. ‘These bionics enhance people's physical possibilities, whether they suffer a disability or not,’ he explains. Professor Herr is an American who lost both lower legs, and now wears self-designed bionic limbs. The Professor has been awarded an honorary doctorate by UT for his pioneering innovations.
