Proctor

Harvard Research Experience for Undergraduates
Project: Light Pneumatic Actuators from Thin Polymer Sheets
•	Explored alternative ways to fabricate soft machines through utilizing an easily processed, commodity material—bubble wrap, to create a new class of soft machines.
•	Formulated and optimize a strategy to actuate bubble wrap, explored the design space and devised a range of structures for different functions.

Produced stackable sheets of paper-based discs separated by material that is hydrophobic, resistant to solvents, and impermeable to gases by applying hot embossing to the fabrication of low-cost, paper-based devices to cultivate cells.
