Dr. Jeannine Mosely<\/strong>\u00a0is a software engineer who specializes in geometric visualizations. Since the early 1990’s she has been a pioneering practitioner in the field of technical folding or\u00a0origami sekkei <\/em>and has been the leading force in the development of business card origami.\u00a0From 1997-2005, Mosely spearheaded a national US effort to construct a Level Three model of the famous three-dimensional fractal known as the Menger Sponge<\/strong> out of 66,000 business cards. In 2005 she worked with the Wooster School District in Massachusettes to design and build a model of the Wooster Union Train Station<\/strong> from 60,000 cards, and in 2012 she led an effort at the University of Southern California Libraries (along with IFF Director Margaret Wertheim) to construct a Level Three \u00a0model of the Mosely Snowflake<\/strong>\u00a0Fractal<\/strong>. \u00a0Dr. Mosely is also a pioneer in the science of curved paper folding.<\/p>\n
