About Us

Kinetic Materials possess internal dynamics. We study Kinetic Materials, their manufacturing, and their functional behavior from the nano- to the macroscales. We are especially interested in manufacturing approaches based on self-curing, self-organization, and novel 3D printing; and mechanical behavior which leverages geometry, actuation, morphing, micro-architecture, bio-inspired and robotic systems, and nonlinear dynamics responses.
