Research Interests
I am an assistant professor in CSE at the University of Notre Dame. I have also just finished my Postdoc at Georgia Tech with Professor Josiah Hester, where I also obtained my PhD with Professor Gregory Abowd and Hyunjoo Oh.
My main research interest and background lie in Solid Mechanics and Human-Computer Interaction fields to design, fabricate, and analyze novel-material based sensors and actuators and their interactions with us. Especially, I aim to add “sustainable physical intelligence” into our built environment, with not only allowing our environment to sense the different surrounding activities, actuate to indicate/deliver information or even communicate within the same or across remote sites, but also paying attention to how this built-in materials intelligence can help them self-destruct or even further recycled as how our nature does.
