Universal Electromagnetic Surface

The goal of this AFOSR sponsored MURI project (Grant # FA9550-18-1-0566, Program Manager: Ken Goretta) is to integrate electromagnetics, mechanics, and materials with the vision of exploiting controlled origami structures and active electromagnetic (EM) circuits to create universal EM surfaces that emulate the far field pattern of any EM structure possible within a given aperture. Our program advances the state-of-the-art in this field through fundamental research in electromagnetics and integrated circuits, origami design/control, objective structures, new concepts for actuation, and conductive soft skins.
