“My research is at the intersection of human-computer interaction and digital manufacturing. My long-term vision is to enable a future in which the physical objects in our daily lives are customized to each individual user’s personal needs. All of the devices we use in our daily lives today are standardized, that is, a few items of the same size, shape, appearance, and function are sold in large volumes. Since a standardized product must cater to all its potential users, it consequently cannot address each individual user’s personal needs…In my research, I investigate how we can facilitate the development of such individualized physical products and how we can enable products to adapt themselves as users’ preferences and needs change over time.”
