This project aims to develop micro pressure sensors using Kiriform structures—a buckling-based deployable mechanism that converts flat sheets into 3D forms through tunable rotational motion. By miniaturizing these structures and integrating them with microelectronics, the sensors will be both sensitive and scalable, offering high-fidelity performance in fields ranging from medical diagnostics to industrial monitoring.

Through Finite Element Analysis and meticulous material testing (including polymers, metals, and composites), the project seeks to ensure the mechanical stability and responsiveness of Kiriform at micro- and millimeter scales. The ultimate goal is to streamline manufacturing processes for large-scale production, creating cost-effective pressure sensors that address existing challenges in adaptability, sensitivity, and integration across various environments and applications.
