Mechanical Engineering, WPI

My research focuses on the development of scalable soft robotic metamaterials for applications involving deployable morphing structures, interactive shape displays and assistive robotics. Enhancing technical innovation with artistic and biological inspiration, I aim to advance human-robot interaction through the design, fabrication, control, and simulation of these adaptive systems.
