Research Interests
Professor Woodruff's research focuses on modeling and discovering the unique multi-physical behaviors of origami-inspired structures and mechanisms. He has developed a simulation tool for curved-crease origami validated by theories from classical mechanics and experimental tests. Using well-designed crease patterns, Professor Woodruff aims to leverage origami folding to solve problems in structural design and acoustic control.
