Job Description

This project aims to automate the design of origami-based deployable building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to mitigate the energy consumption of skyscrapers. Buildings worldwide account for a third of energy consumption, BIPV offers a sustainable solution, embedding solar panels into building exteriors. However, the complexity of BIPV installation and a lack of skilled professionals impede their broader adoption. To overcome the challenge in installation, we’re introducing deployable BIPVs and developing a dedicated design tool tailored for origami-based BIPVs on skyscrapers.

The main research tasks for the project include but will not be limited to:

• Origami Pattern Design: To devise a comprehensive tool that facilitates the design of origami-based deployable BIPVs

• Thickness Accommodation: To establish a general thickness accommodation model that converts origami patterns into tangible BIPV prototypes;

• Prototyping and Testing: To fabricate a scaled laboratory prototype of the envisioned BIPVs

• Research & Documentations: document all research findings, tool development stages, and pattern designs for reference and publication

• Collaboration and Communication: Collaborate with research fellow, Ph.D. students, masters, and undergraduates in the group.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Origami Engineering, Structural Optimization, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related disciplines.
