PESB: Physics Engine for Soft Bodies
, 2014 Three dimensional physics engines are used to simulate natural reactions in a computing environment. Most physics engines use rigid body structures and preprocessing to calculate collisions and motion. These rigid body calculations mean that the objects do not deform.

Soft physics: healing the mind/body split in physics education
, 2012 Physics education is facing a crisis of meaning: students can “plug” numbers into formulas, but research shows they do not give much meaning to physical concepts. This thesis explores how the cultural context of physics education, in particular the mind/body cartesian split, contributes to a loss of meaning.

Information processing via physical soft body [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractSoft machines have recently gained prominence due to their inherent softness and the resulting safety and resilience in applications. However, these machines also have disadvantages, as they respond with complex body dynamics when stimulated.

Multi-Modal Long-Term Person Re-Identification Using Physical Soft Bio-Metrics and Body Figure [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2022 Person re-identification is the task of recognizing a subject across different non-overlapping cameras across different views and times. Most state-of-the-art datasets and proposed solutions tend to address the problem of short-term re-identification. Those models can re-identify a person as long as they are wearing the same clothes. The work presented
