Our new paper in origami robotics just made the cover of PNAS - check it out! ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦Princeton Engineering⁩ ⁦Princeton Materials Institute⁩ ⁦Princeton Center on Science & Technology⁩ ⁦NC State MAE⁩ bit.ly/4bF9uZY

It took me three days to drive alone from Austin to Princeton 🚗 Starting everything from zero in a new city feels frightening😥 Fortunately, I have a Texas corner with gifts 🎁 from all my friends 🫶

Congratulations to Minjie Chen and Kelsey B. Hatzell of Princeton Engineering and the Andlinger Center on being promoted to associate professors, effective today! 🎊🙌🥳 bit.ly/4eX21rA

We are thrilled to welcome Amy Honnig Bassett and yifan rao to the Andlinger Center as our newest Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellows! bit.ly/3Y3WFEu

For Professor Glaucio H. Paulino, origami engineering is a way to blend multiple disciplines to make our world more efficient, dynamic and resilient. bit.ly/4dPxw5a

Steve Cranford Steve created a rap for my paper with the help of AI. I played it as the summary of my talk at #F24MRS

Our fantastic time at the Annual ORIGAMI workshop! My beer and keg lol🍻

A team led by Glaucio H. Paulino reported that they used strategic cutting and folding to turn a single sheet of paper into a metamaterial — a material that demonstrates unique properties based on form and geometry. This video explains. Learn more at our website: engineering.princeton.edu/news/2025/01/2…

Grateful to organize the 2025 GRS Adhesion Science, creating a space for young researchers to share their work. Excited to have experts from academia & industry join us for a career panel discussion! Xuanhe Zhao Junsoo Kim Welcome to apply!!! Gordon Research Conferences Princeton University UT Austin

As part of The Princeton SMatCH Seminar series, Dr Tuo Zhao is delivering a fascinating lecture on “Modular Chiral Origami Metamaterials” associated to his upcoming paper in Nature ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦Princeton Engineering⁩ ⁦nature⁩

Dr Yifan Rao is delivering a visionary lecture on Optimal Energy Embedding for Modular Origami-Inspired Soft Robots, distinguished postdoc Fellowship, Andlinger Center at Princeton Univ ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦Princeton Engineering⁩ ⁦UT Austin⁩ ⁦Andlinger Center⁩

Glad to see. Thanks for sharing yifan rao’s progress, Glaucio H. Paulino!

Smooth road trip from Princeton to Mount Holyoke College 🚘😄 Only complaint—the traffic was insanely fast!Excited for a fun and inspiring week with the adhesion science community! Gordon Research Conferences

Just received The Belytschko Medal during the #USNCCM conference in Chicago! Congrats to all other award winners for such great honors! ⁦Princeton University⁩ ⁦Princeton Engineering⁩ ⁦ASME.org⁩ ⁦ASCE Headquarters⁩ ⁦Society of Engineering Science⁩ usnccm18.usacm.org

Summer views.

I really enjoy GRS/GRC Adhesion Science this year! Big thanks to our panelists Xuanhe Zhao, Junsoo Kim, Chris, and Alex for an open and inspiring career discussion with early-career researchers during GRS. Also, got a nice little reward for asking good questions during GRC 😉
