Please share! Applications are now open for summer internships at EPFL: summer.epfl.ch I'll be hosting students at the Geometric Computing Laboratory through this program.

Fold a piece of paper into a straight tube with a triangular cross-section. Glue the sides. Can you feel the stiffness? Our SIGGRAPH 2025 paper, "C-Tubes: Design and Optimization of Tubular Structures Composed of Developable Strips", extends this process to arbitrary tube shapes and cross-sections.

If you were a snake, how would you slither and solve this obstacle race? In our SIGGRAPH 2025 paper "Inverse Geometric Locomotion", we investigate control problems for deformable bodies in dissipation- and inertia-dominated setups.

Please share widely: The EPFL Geometry Computing Laboratory is launching its third call for an Artist / Designer Residency for the fall of 2025! More information on how to apply here: www.epfl.ch/labs/gcm/ope... #design #art #residency #research

Please share widely: The Symposium on Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) will be hosted at MIT in Boston this year from Nov. 16-19! More information: www.aag2025.com The conference will be back-to-back with the Symposium on Computational Fabrication (scf.acm.org/2025/)

I now have a personal website: qbecky.github.io! I'll keep track of my latest projects, some random notes, and news. Stay tuned! (credits to Léo Bierent for the portrait)

Quick preview of the new exhibition video of Aetherocohedron, a kinetic sculpture exploring duality, synergy and coherence, designed and fabricated at EPFL in collaboration with Josua Putzke. More info and the full video here: www.epfl.ch/labs/gcm/art... #art #design #research #kinetic #geometry

It’s a wrap! So much fun to work on these projects with people from GCM! Looking forward to see what these ideas on my head will turn into 🙌

Quentin Becker (@qbecky.bsky.social ) just presented our work (with Uday Kusupati and Seiichi Suzuki) on the Computational Design of a Kit of Parts for Bending-Active Structures at SIGGRAPH Asia in Tokyo! More info at: go.epfl.ch/kop

Liliane-Joy Dandy on the big stage at ACM SIGGRAPH Asia in Tokyo! n her excellent talk she introduced her project with Michele Vidulis and Samara Ren entitled: Tencers: Tension-Constrained Elastic Rods. More info at: go.epfl.ch/tencers

Excited to present our work on "Computational Design of a Kit of Parts for Bending-Active Structures" at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024! A joint work with @udaykusupati.bsky.social, Seiichi Suzuki, @markpauly.bsky.social. See you tomorrow at 10:45 in Hall B5 (1) to learn more about these flying pieces!

Please share: Our lab is looking for new PhD students starting 2025! If you are interested in research in geometry, computational design and digital fabrication, join us at EPFL! More info on the lab: epfl.ch/labs/gcm/ More info on how to apply: www.epfl.ch/education/ph...

I'll be using this channel mostly to announce news from the EPFL Geometric Computing Laboratory (www.epfl.ch/labs/gcm/). Here is a teaser of some of our recent art and design projects.
