Biography

Evgueni Filipov is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His research interests are focused on the underlying mechanics of origamiinspired deployable and reconfigurable structures. These mechanics are employed to improve stiffness, functionality, and manufacturing of the folded systems. Practical applications of thin origami inspired structures can range in discipline from micro-scale robotics and metamaterials to largescale deployable architecture. Evgueni holds MS and PhD degrees in civil engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a BSc from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He has received the DARPA 2018 Young Faculty Award, the 2015 Cozzarelli Prize from the National Academy of Sciences, and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
