Klara Mundilova is a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL’s Geometry Computing Laboratory. With a background in computer science (PhD, MIT) and mathematics (MSc, TU Wien), she explores how geometry can be used to design functional structures.

Through interdisciplinary collaborations, she investigates deployable systems, particularly the geometry of curved-crease origami, with the goal of creating structures that are lightweight, material-efficient, and aesthetically compelling.

She also develops software tools that make the resulting design frameworks accessible to designers and artists, including Lotus, a Grasshopper/Rhino plugin that enables users to interactively explore and generate curved-crease origami structures.
