Complex Materials
ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Formerly with the Katia Bertoldi group, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
While a post-doc at Harvard Dr. Ahmad Rafsanjani wrote: “I am a SNSF postdoctoral researcher in Bertoldi group at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I am working in the general area of mechanics of materials with a focus on designer matter to create new architected materials with novel functionalities. In my research, I get inspirations from natural and biological systems, origami, kirigami and architecture.”
