Introduction
Our research in the STAR (Seoul National University’s Transformative ARchitecture) Laboratory is directed towards designing and developing advanced architected systems for various engineering applications, ranging from aerospace structures, biomedical devices, civil infrastructure, to energy and environments. To achieve this, we leverage interdisciplinary knowledge, such as mechanics, physics, robotics, data science, and even art and design. Such advanced architecture will allow us to manipulate their mechanical properties and dynamic responses at will, which will lead to a paradigm shift in engineering design.
Exemplary Projects
by using creative origami, robotics, manufacturing, and sensor/actuator techniques
by adopting novel ideas from topological insulators, bio-inspired materials, and advanced composites
e.g., data-driven modeling, mechanics for environments, and coral physiology studies
