Larson Lab
We develop new manufacturing systems to build multifunctional materials — from tunable metamaterials to structural batteries, soft robots and living tissues.
We develop next-generation 3D printers that enable new classes of multifunctional materials. We're advancing multimaterial 3D printing platforms with subvoxel control, 4D imaging for real-time quality control, and scalable approaches for making hierarchical multifunctional materials spanning defense, aerospace, transportation, robotics, healthcare, and cellular agriculture applications.
We're always looking for students and postdocs with a demonstrated passion for rethinking how we manufacture things — people excited about designing printing hardware, investigating novel processes with complex fluids (our inks!), building automation and control systems, and pushing the fundamental limits of what multimaterial 3D printing can achieve. Backgrounds in mechanical engineering, robotics, materials science, controls, and other related fields welcome!
