The Reconfigurable Active Structures (ReAct) Lab focuses on the development of spacecraft structures that can vary their physical properties in response to environmental encounters. This includes the creation of space structures that change their shape, material properties, and electromagnetic optical performance. The research is aimed at advancing technologies such as shape-shifting antennas, crawling robots, and sun-tracking solar arrays. The lab encourages students at all levels to join their team, especially those with experience or interest in composite materials, solid mechanics, smart materials, and multi-disciplinary engineering. Current openings are available for Stanford MS and PhD students, providing opportunities for research and development in cutting-edge aerospace engineering fields.
The Computer Science department emphasizes research potential. GRE General is currently optional but recommended for some tracks.
