Fabrication‐Directed Entanglement for Designing Chiral and Anisotropic Metamaterial Foams
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces fabrication‐directed entanglement (FDE), combining viscous thread printing and topology optimization to program entangled foams with spatially patterned stiffness. By tuning coil density, FDE enables anisotropy, programmable Poisson's ratio, and chirality in foams.

Biodegradation of Surgical Polypropylene Meshes
The FASEB Journal, 2019 Surgical meshes of a variety of materials, such as polypropylene, are commonly used in many procedures to support tissues. From our previous studies on polypropylene meshes, samples of mesh removed from patients often demonstrated biodegradation proportional to the amount of time that had passed since implantation.
