Interactive Matter LabWe conduct research on Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) with a focus on innovating in fabrication technologies and materials to enable the broader society creating personalized interactive tools and devices. In our everyday live, we use numerous objects to interact with other people and digital data including mobile phones, smart home devices, or simply a TV's remote control. These interactions have a high impact on how we live our live, how we gather information, and how we interact with others. Our research aims to innovate in the personalized fabrication of such interactive objects enabling personalized medical devices, novel printing hardware, interactive materials, and computational algorithms that go beyond the capabilties of technology that exists today. We are always looking for highly motivated PhD candidates and offer several bachelor's/master's projects.We have one fully-funded PhD/Postdoc position available. More information here. |
