Professor Simon Guest holds the Professor of Structural Mechanics chair at the University of Cambridge, where he is also the Head of Civil Engineering. His research bridges traditional structural mechanics with the study of mechanisms, focusing on deployable, bistable, and symmetry-driven structural designs.
- Structural mechanics and kinematic modeling
- Applications to origami-inspired and tensegrity structures
- Use of symmetry in analyzing framework stability
The Structures Research Group at Cambridge, which he leads, explores themes such as rigid origami, tensegrity systems, and auxetic materials. His recent work emphasizes geometric nonlinearity, prestress stability, and symmetry-based mobility rules for frameworks. Articles like his 2025 studies on non-self-intersecting polyhedra and selfstressed tensegrity-origami units highlight his contributions to mechanical metamaterials and foldable structures.
