Research Focus
Engineering across scales, from interfaces to automated systems
Our work connects fundamental mechanics and materials behavior to practical systems:
interlocking structures, reusable attachment systems, open hardware, automated process apparatus,
and computational tools for modeling, design, and experimental analysis.
Structural interfaces
Mechanically Intelligent Structures
Interlocking systems, compliant mechanisms, and structural interfaces for heterogeneous integration,
frame assembly, panel attachment, and reusable fastening.
Automation + open tools
Research Automation
Open hardware and software for coating engineering, sample handling, gas adsorption measurement,
experimental workflows, and process control.
Modeling + data
Computation and Experimentation
Computational modeling, digital twins, data analysis, and automated experiments that connect
measurements with predictive design.
