Welcome!
Welcome!
Our research uncovers knowledge about the mechanics behind adaptive reconfiguration. More specifically, we create new reconfigurable and adaptive structural systems by developing better simulation, fabrication, and design methods for these systems. Reconfigurable structures have wide applications in civil infrastructure, soft robotics, metamaterials, and many others. See our research highlights in the following YouTube Videos and learn more about our Research, Papers, and Software Programs.
We are actively looking for talented students to join us all year round! To join us, find information by clicking here!
