We advance science and society with the design of morphing materials.

Construct

The invention or discovery of morphing mechanisms involves hands-on experimentation of material composition, structure and geometry across scales. We have a growing interest in mechanics that analyze deformation.

Compute

We apply computational design to digital fabrication processes, such as additive and robotic manufacturing. We are striving for a balance between geometry and mechanics (shape and force) when computing morphing matter.

Contextualize

Design is our attitude to practice context-driven and societal impactful research. It drives us to balance curiosity and reality, aesthetics and utility, science and society, engineering and design.
