Full video on my technique for #3Dprinting #fabric by under-extruding: vimeo.com/465508515 The 3D printer forms the macroscopic shape The stringing effect of filament is responsible for the microscopic texture. Think of it as a collaboration between material and machine

And continuing the second annual Out in HCI lunch! Both of these events received wonderful feedback last year, it’s such a pleasure to organize (and attend!) Thanks to my killer co-chair @tichaesque

Lots of exciting things happening at UIST this year!! I've had the pleasure of being Community Co-Chair with @formanfunction and will be moderating the Women's Lunch Panel on 9/29! ✨ We have a fabulous set of panelists across academia & industry. Join us! 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏾‍💻 (poster by Jack!)

.@MIT's Voxel Invention Kit is like grown-up LEGOs — strong, reusable blocks with built-in electronics for rapid, waste-free prototyping. hackster.io/news/think-ins…


Super proud of this work on super-lego that I did with my amazing co-first author Miana Smith!

A paper by Media Lab researchers and collaborators, to appear at @acm_chi 2025, describes a new rapid-prototyping platform called VIK (Voxel Invention Kit) that utilizes reconfigurable building blocks with integrated electronics. The system can be assembled into complex,…

What a wonderful delight! Doga and I worked on this paper over Covid lockdown, where it felt like the two of us were totally alone in our rabbit hole. To see it appreciated by others makes me so happy!

Got an exciting notification today🤩 Our DefeXtiles paper (UIST'20) got its 100th citation! 🔗 scholar.google.com/citations?view… 💪 @formanfunction @ishii_mit @ACMUIST @ACMDL

FibeRobo, developed by an interdisciplinary team at MIT, represents a significant innovation in the textile industry. It's a liquid crystal elastomer fiber capable of changing its shape in response to temperature changes. 👉 Subscribe to our tech newsletter, The Blueprint, which…


Asked chatGPT for a queered explanation of cooper pairing in quantum mechanics. Honestly love the result:

This is a wonderful opportunity for young fabrication researchers on a beautiful campus (Cornell Tech), in a wonderful city (NYC), with a fantastic advisor! I would've applied myself :D

At the Matter of Techlab @cornell_tech, we plan to admit 1-2 great PhD students next cycle. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions, and apply to join our team! either in InfoScience: infosci.cornell.edu/phd/admissions or Computer Science: cs.cornell.edu/phd/admissions

HCI community, please help spread the news! In an effort to be inclusive in forming the UIST2024 organizing committee, @mynkgoel and I, as the general co-chairs, are issuing this open call to HCI researchers. We welcome you from everywhere around the world! # UIST2024@Pittsburgh.

Call to be an organizing committee member for UIST 2024. Help us organize UIST by applying to be a part of the organizing committee. Please fill out linked form by September 15th. It should not take more than 10 minutes to complete. forms.gle/zV1366D3uDTFLJ…



Super exciting Laboratory Director opening for my lab @mit with Prof. Neil Gershenfeld. Polyjet printers! Zund Cutters! 5 axis mills! Brilliant people! Electron Microscopes! All at your disposal! cba.mit.edu/l/labdir #3dprinting #cnc #lasercut #makers #fabrication #hacker


If anyone who follows me works at @Apple, please please make it so that when my #airpods are in the case, and I shake it, it feels like shaking a pack of tic tacs. So I can know they are safe in their little home.


Special recognition for outstanding review 🎉 (If I collect enough, can I cash them in for free conference registration :P) #uist2023

Had the wonderful honor of hosting the first #CHI2023 session “Interactive Surfaces”. Filled back to back with absolutely brilliant papers and people. Thank you everyone who bared with (and even laughed at) my puns!

Super popular #CHI2023 session "Interactive Surfaces" chaired by @FormanFunction – great to see G-ID (@sigchi'20) and InfraredTags (@sigchi'22) recognized by Ma et al. 🤓😊
