DESCRIPTION:Research at the EPFL Geometric Computing Laboratory (GCM) aims
  at empowering creators. We develop efficient simulation and optimization 
 algorithms to build computational design methodologies for advanced materi
 al systems and digital fabrication technology. Mathematical reasoning\, ge
 ometric abstractions\, and powerful numerical methods are key ingredients 
 in our work.\n\nIn this talk I will show how these tools can be used to so
 lve challenging inverse problems for deployable structures that can transi
 tion between multiple geometric states. Several design studies will highli
 ght how the interplay of geometry\, computation\, and digital fabrication 
 technologies facilitates the discovery of new material systems with superi
 or functional performance. Such systems offer a wide variety of potential 
 applications\, for example in industrial and consumer products\, soft robo
 tics\, medical devices\, or architecture.\n\nLink to join virtually: https
