📍 MECSOL 2026 - São José dos Campos, Brazil

This week, I had the pleasure of attending MECSOL 2026, one of the leading international symposia in solid mechanics regularly held in Brazil. The event took place from October 19 to 21 at the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica - ITA in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil.

It was an excellent opportunity to present our preliminary work on mechanical energy harvesting using origami-based structures, as well as to reconnect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and establish new research collaborations.
