The mechanics of biological structures and molecules can help to guide highly efficient engineering solutions as we move into space.

My name is Bill Smith. I am the primary investigator at a St Louis based company that is developing deployable systems for space applications. Please contact me with your questions or comments. 

My company’s technology forms structures and mechanisms from interconnected high strain sinusoidal flexure elements. The deployment of energy dense resilient structures along a trajectory and the harvesting of energy from pre-deployed high strain material components during deployment are interests.
