About
Chenhao Lu is a rising leader in computational origami engineering, whose work bridges algorithmic design, structural mechanics, and deployable metamaterials. His research focuses on the inverse design and optimization of origami-based structures, with key contributions to flat-foldable tessellations, reconfigurable metastructures, and algorithmic form-finding. Lu’s most cited paper, “Intelligent computational design of scalene-faceted flat-foldable tessellations” (2022, 51 citations), introduces a novel framework for generating complex, non-symmetric origami patterns with practical applications in deployable structures and energy absorption devices. His follow-up work, “Algorithmic Spatial Form-Finding of Four-Fold Origami Structures Based on Mountain-Valley Assignments” (2023, 47 citations), advances the automated synthesis of foldable mechanisms for robotics and biomedical engineering. In “A Unified Inverse Design and Optimization Workflow for the Miura-oRing Metastructure” (2023, 32 citations), Lu presents a streamlined computational pipeline for tuning stiffness and energy absorption in origami metastructures. With over 130 citations across his top papers, Lu’s work is shaping the next generation of adaptive, reconfigurable engineering systems, offering powerful tools for designers and researchers in robotics, aerospace, and smart materials.
