Welcome!
Welcome!
Our research uncovers knowledge about the fundamental mechanics behind adaptive reconfiguration, connecting mathematical theories behinds shape morphing, mechanical simulations, and rapid prototyping. More specifically, we 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 actively looking for talented students to join us all year round! To join us, find information by clicking here!
