Welcome to LinKaGe - Laboratory in Kine(ma)tics and Geometry Research!

LinKaGe is led by Ileana Streinu.
Our research belongs to computational geometry: the investigation of algorithmic problems with geometric content. Our focus is on rigidity, flexibility and motion for constrained structures like linkages or frameworks in mechanics or robotics. In an interdisciplinary spirit, we also consider applications to computational biology, and investigate computational methods for motion generation in molecules (in particular, proteins).
