The Gu Group studies how geometry and architecture can be used to program the behavior of materials and devices. Inspired by nature and enabled by mechanics, additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, her group aims to create materials that are not only more efficient and sustainable, but also more adaptive and responsive. These advances open new possibilities for applications in aerospace, human health, and robotics. Gu also organizes PrintSprint, an annual 3D printing bootcamp at Berkeley, aimed at inspiring the next generation of students to pursue careers in science and...
