This year, colleague and collaborator Hillel Aharoni was awarded the International Liquid Crystal Society’s Early-career award Michi-Nakata. Many Congrats!!!

I am very honored and grateful to have our on-going work modelling a motorsport-shaped actuator, my name and face featured in his award lecture along with outstanding researchers as Y. Xia, S. Yang and R. Kamien.

You can find Hillel’s Michi-Nakata award lecture “Making Faces: Universal Inverse Design of Surfaces with Thin Nematic Elastomer Sheets” here. Enjoy!
