Designing continuous equilibrium structures that counteract gravity in any orientation
In this work, Maria develops a design method for deployable structures using the concept of “continuous equilibrium” that makes changing their shape (i.e. deploying them) effortless. Continue Reading

Large-scale modular and uniformly thick origami-inspired adaptable and load-carrying structures
In this paper, Yi advances concepts in thick origami and introduces Modular and Uniformly Thick Origami-Inspired Structure systems. Some of the notable contributions of this work are:
The creation of a single easy-to-fabricate panel that can be reconfigured into many structures, such as a foot-bridge or a bus station, and stored in compact configurations.
The formulation of mathematical constraints that these reconfigurable structures need to satisfy to be "developable", "flat-foldable", and uniformly thick.
