About me
About me
I have completed my Ph.D. and M.S. from the Structural Engineering Laboratory in the Dept. of Civil Engineering at IIT Madras. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Trento, Italy. My research is primarily concerned with the lattice mechanics and dynamics of origami lattices towards design of metamaterials with low-frequency elastic bandgaps.

This paper presents a folding-angle-based analytical framework for kinematics of rigid-panel origami lattices, specifically focusing on the deformation modes of 1D and 2D Miura-ori lattices. Proposes an easy technique to spot origami candidates for low-frequency wave propagation.

This paper investigates the lattice deformation modes of rigid triangulated Miura-ori (RTM) with enclosed voids, using bar-and-hinge and folding-angle frameworks. We discover a novel space of 6 deformations never observed before in 2D sheets!

This paper improves the accuracy of a reduced order Bar and Hinge model for modal analysis of origami. For low-frequency dynamic modes, eigen-frequencies estimated, when compared with FE, yield errors below 10% (down from 30% in existing models)!
