PhD

Amara Okafor

Doctoral Researcher · Adaptive Structures

Amara Okafor develops fiber structures in which geometry and conductivity jointly encode deformation. Her doctoral research combines fabrication experiments with sparse inverse models.

She is interested in measurement systems that remain understandable to the people who make and repair them.
