A Bit About Me
I received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology; and a Ph.D. in Robotics from the University of Toronto, Canada.
I have been intermittently combining academic teaching and research with industrial development work for the last 20 years, and studying structures is a personal exploration for me, as it bridges between art, science and engineering. My research and design activities focuses on morphing structures, origami based mechanisms, protein structures, and architected metamaterials. My industry background supports research on material-structure-function relations to help achieve new opportunities, and research on methodologies and tools for additive-based manufacturing technologies that can transform structures with unique properties into reality. From micro-structure of non-hetrogenous materials, origami, and proteins via parallel reconfigurable robots to 3D-printed parts, and assembly games - structures are everywhere...
