Weaving enables us to create complex geometries with unique properties. Basketweaving, for example, can achieve stiff three-dimensional shapes by combining flexible fibers. I am developing computational models that can simulate woven geometries to understand how weaves hold together and deform under load. With this information, we hope to design useful woven systems like biomimetic robots or deployable structures.
