Andrew Sageman-Furnas

Andrew Sageman-Furnas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University, part of the College of Sciences. His research focuses on global surface theory, discrete differential geometry, and computational fabrication with applications to polymer networks and textile mechanics.

Education:

• PhD in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Göttingen (2017)

His research spans isometric deformations of surfaces, integrable systems, and topology-driven mechanics. Notable contributions include studies on skew parallelogram nets, Bonnet pairs, and elastic gridshell form-finding. His work bridges pure mathematics with practical applications in materials science and engineering.

Key publication themes include discrete geometry, topological effects in spring networks, and computational methods for fabricating complex structures. He collaborates with the Topology, Geometry and Mathematical Physics research group at NC State.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though his active research profile suggests ongoing recognition opportunities. He currently advises no listed students but may supervise through his research groups.
