Summary:
Tomohiro Tachi is an associate professor in graphic and computer sciences at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the University of Tokyo. He studied architecture and received his Masters and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from the University of Tokyo. He has been designing origami since 2002 and exploring spatial and kinematic origami through computation. Tachi developed several software tools for origami design. “Origamizer” (2008) generates the crease pattern on a sheet of paper that folds to a given three-dimensional polyhedral mesh. In 2017, he collaborated with Erik Demaine to prove that any polyhedron can be folded from a sheet of paper through an improved algorithm of Origamizer. Tachi is also active in proposing new computational methods for designing a class of origami called rigidly foldable origami, i.e., a deployable system composed of rigid panels and hinges. One of such design methods is the generalization of Miura-ori, which won the Hangai Prize in 2009. The method is implemented in “Freeform Origami” (2010), which, together with other computational origami tools, is available from his website. In addition, Tachi collaborated with Koryo Miura to first propose the idea of cellular origami. This work won the Tsuboi Award in 2013.
