About
Pooya Sareh is a leading researcher at the intersection of origami engineering, kirigami metamaterials, and bioinspired robotics. His work fundamentally reimagines how structures can fold, stretch, and adapt, with major contributions to the design of flat-foldable tessellations and reconfigurable metastructures. Sareh pioneered the "Rotorigami" concept—a rotary origami protective system for robotic rotorcraft—which has garnered 171 citations and demonstrates his ability to translate geometric principles into practical aerial robotics solutions. His 2020 paper on particle swarm optimization for origami tessellations (107 citations) established a computational framework for generating non-trivial foldable patterns, while his classification of kirigami-inspired metastructures (82 citations) provides a systematic taxonomy for this emerging field. Sareh’s biologically inspired soft artificial sucker (68 citations) showcases his interdisciplinary approach, mimicking octopus anchoring for robotic attachment. More recently, his work on algorithmic form-finding and inverse design workflows has advanced the engineering of Miura-ori metastructures with tunable Poisson’s ratios and thermoresponsive behavior. With over 500 cumulative citations and a growing portfolio of high-impact papers, Sareh is shaping the future of deployable structures, soft robotics, and adaptive metamaterials—bridging art, mathematics, and engineering innovation.
