Welcome!
Welcome!
Our research studies the fundamental mechanics of adaptive reconfiguration behind deployable structures, mechanisms, morphing matter, soft robots, etc. Our work create new theoretical models, faster simulations, and novel fabrications for reconfigurable and adaptive structural systems with wide applications in civil infrastructure, soft robotics, metamaterials, and many others. See our research highlights in the following YouTube Videos and Simulation GIFs. Learn more about our Research, Papers, Software Programs, and GitHub page.
We are looking for talented students to join us all year round! To join us, find information by clicking here!
