At the second Vienna Gödel Lecture of TU Wien Informatics on June 4th 2014 the 33-year-old professor of Computer Science demonstrated how much fun mathematics can be and that there is more to folding algorithms than just being playful. Demaine and Joseph ORourke.

In this wonderful presentation from MoMAs now-legendary 2008 Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition Erik reveals the extraordinary computational origami he has developed with his father MITs first artist in residence.
Erik demaine origami. The solver extends work from the. Erik Demaine assistant professor of computer science folds the tail of a duck form during the beginners origami workshop offered by visiting artist Robert Lang on Nov. Fast Interactive Origami Simulation using GPU Computation by Amanda Ghassaei Erik Demaine and Neil Gershenfeld 7OSME All simulation methods were written from scratch and are executed in parallel in several GPU fragment shaders for fast performance.
Cambridge University Press July 2007. MITs Erik Demaine improves on his landmark 18-year-old algorithm for generating origami folding patterns for any 3-D shape. In a 1999 paper Erik Demaine now a CSAIL principal investigaor but then an 18-year-old PhD student at the University of Waterloo in Canada described an algorithm that could determine how to fold a piece of paper into any conceivable 3-D shape.
Piece of paper crease pattern mountain-valley assignment. Topics include reconfiguration of foldable structures linkages made from one-dimensional rods connected by hinges folding two-dimensional paper origami and unfolding and folding three-dimensional polyhedra. Erik Demaine sparks with enthusiasm when he talks about Origami folding techniques and the algorithms behind them.
Lang was on campus to work with Demaine on an algorithm for origami. Erik Demaine is a Professor in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His paper sculptures made with his father artist Martin Demaine.
The solver extends work from the. Dr Erik Demaine Massachusetts Institute of Technology computer science assistant professor is leader in emerging field of origami mathematics formal. The new work adds the requirement of watertightness or minimizing the number of seams in an origami approximation of a closed surface.
