Research Interests：                                                           

The main research direction involves the pattern design and property programming of curved-crease origami. This includes generalized design methods for curved-crease origami, as well as analysis and programming of properties such as multi-stability, variable stiffness, and wrapping foldability based on specific curved-crease forms to achieve functional requirements that straight-crease origami structures cannot provide.
