Simply complex soft machines.

I research
embodying complex behaviors,
such as autonomy,
in soft machines through
mechanical and fluidic interactions.

By harnessing mechanical and fluidic nonlinearities, I build
soft machines that are responsive because of their body
and their physical interactions with the world,
more analogous to natural systems than to robots with electronics and software.

Through fundamental understanding of counterintuitive physical phenomena,
I aim to uncover the complexity hidden behind seemingly simple systems,
for democratic and widespread adoption of functional devices.
