- Reposted by Abby PlummerIt was great to host @LaurenDreier from Princeton @UH_Engineering last weekend where we began experimenting with 3D weaving techniques. She gave a great seminar in the department, and gave us a tour of her art pieces at the APS's DFD Traveling Gallery of Fluid Motion @nl_longnecker.

- Reposted by Abby PlummerJust back from the 2025 Soft Matter GRC = soft matter summer camp. Talks, discussions & power hour were 🔥! Huge congrats and thanks to Jenny Ross & Meredith Betterton for co-chairing and making it a big success. In 2 yrs I’ll co-chair w/ Eric Dufresne — can't wait! Photo: with GRC and GRS chairs
- Looking forward to this!
- Join us this Fall at ICTS for an advanced course on Geometry, Mechanics & the Physics of Growth: www.icts.res.in/program/Geom... Co-organized with S. Ganga Prasath & @surajshankar.bsky.social
- Reposted by Abby PlummerGearing up for our upcoming exhibition in the European Cultural Centre’s architecture biennale, Time Space Existence 2025! Kirigami d’Aria explores how structures based on kirigami (“cut paper”) can be used in architectural settings, adaptively tailoring airflow and shading in public spaces.
