Since 2021
Our research focuses primarily on space deployable structures systems that are stowed compactly for launch and deployed to a large size in space. We conduct research on structural concepts and stowage/deployment mechanisms (including prototyping and testing), as well as on deployment behavior, vibration characteristics, structural mechanics, on-ground testing methods, and numerical simulation techniques.
This web site was launched on September 2026.
Please contact us if you are interested in or wish to discuss our research, spacecraft structures , vibrations of mechanical structures, or related topics.
