From electronic textiles and wearable sensors to soft robots and interactive surfaces, we bring computation into everyday materials. Our goal is to make devices at scale, help them adapt and endure in use, and recover their materials or allow them to biodegrade at the end of their life.
Our Research Focus
The lab takes interdisciplinary approach to push the boundaries of building scalable and resilient computational devices for applications in human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, and printed/flexible electronics. We particularly focus on solving the tension between scaling up the functionality, quantity, and robustness of the computational devices, but meanwhile making them less harmful. Research interest spans digital fabrication, material innovation, hardware/system design, machine learning and AI.
