<a id="publications">Research: Fabricating Interactions</a>
</h3>
As a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher in the area of manufacturing and design, I develop novel fabrication techniques that combine innovations in hardware, materials, and computational algorithms to create interactions with objects that have not been possible before. Every day we interact with hundreds of objects. What our objects can be used for and how we use them, has a large impact on how we live our everyday lives. Many of the properties of our objects and thus the resulting interactions we have with them are determined by the materials they are made of and the manufacturing techniques used to make them. My work develops novel fabrication techniques that leverage innovations in hardware, materials, and computational algorithms to give objects capabilities that go beyond the type of interactions that exist today.

Objects with Interactive Appearances
</h3>
My lab investigates what interactions become possible when physical objects are able to change their appearance. We develop computational fabrication techniques that create appearance-changing objects using photochromic dyes that can create multi-color textures that are reprogrammable on-demand; high-resolution multi-color 3D printing to fabricate lenticular lenses across an object’s surface to enable viewpoint-based appearance changes; birefringent materials that creates rotation-based appearance changes via polarized light mosaics; and optical illusions to create animated physical photographs. <br><br>

Tracking Interactions via Markers
</h3>
To keep objects passive while still being able to track interactions with them, my research lab explores fabrication techniques that create invisible markers from infrared-translucent filament that can be tracked with IR cameras, create identifiable surface features based on artifacts of slicing and 3D printing that can be tracked with regular cameras, leverage existing surface features of materials via speckle imaging with a lens-less image sensor, or use magnetic pixels that can be read using hall effect sensors and viewed under magnetic viewing film.<br><br>

Embedding Sensing into Objects
</h3>
Capturing interactions where they occur on an object can be challenging for curved, deformable, and moving object geometries. My lab develops fabrication techniques that integrate sensing with moving parts such as mechanisms where sensors and wires can interfere with the object function, deformable objects where sensors are difficult to adhere, and large-scale objects where current sensors are not able to capture the interaction wholistically. <br><br>

Prototyping on Curved Surfaces
</h3>
Prototyping physical user interface is an essential process for product designers to explore new user interface designs. Rapid prototyping of which electronic components to use and where to place them, however, is challenging on curved object geometries. To address this issue, my research lab develops novel types of breadboards that are flexible and curved, new electronic design tools for reforming existing sensor modules, and visualization tools to preview sensor coverage before physically building the prototype.

Design Practice
</h3>
There is a rapidly growing group of people learning fabrication and crafting skills. Without tools that support them, these learners are often left to discover the challenges and pitfalls through trial and error. To facilitate learning new skills, my lab develops computational design software that extracts the most difficult steps in a design and generates additional practice steps and also previews the amount of material that a design will take.<br><br>

Prototyping Health Sensing Devices
</h3>
Designing health sensing devices that are customized to each user, both in their shape to fit the user’s body and in their health sensing functions, is a challenging problem. My lab developed a prototyping environment to design customized wearable devices that can monitor which muscles a user is engaging and how much they are tensed, which is required for applications, such as monitoring patient’s exercises in at-home physical rehabilitation and monitoring athletes to prevent overstraining their muscles. <br><br>

<b>Undergraduate and Master Student Research:</b> I'm a strong advocate for undergraduate research both to educate undergraduates on how to conduct great research and to train my PhD students in how to mentor students and manage a research lab. Over the last 6 years, my lab has <u>mentored more than 70 undergraduate researchers</u> with many students staying on for two or more semesters and subsequently writing their master thesis in the lab. The undergraduates in my lab have been extraordinarily successful receiving <u>9 MIT EECS Best Undergraduate Researcher Awards</u>. Two of my PhD students Junyi Zhu and Martin Nisser, who were particularly active in mentoring undergraduate researchers, received the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 Thomas Stockham Jr. Fellowship from the MIT EECS department, which is given to PhD students with an extraordinary teaching and mentoring track record. Undergraduates in my lab have co-authored more than 20 publications at the top conferences in Human-Computer Interaction. Many undergraduates have attended research conferences and either given a live demonstration or part of the conference talk. Several of my undergraduate researchers are now applying to PhD programs at top institutions.<br><br>

<b>Paper Co-Chair ACM CHI and ACM UIST:</b> I have held many leadership roles for the premier Human-Computer Interaction conferences ACM CHI and ACM UIST. For instance, I served as an <a href="https://chi2023.acm.org/">ACM CHI 2023 Paper Co-Chair</a>. For this role, I oversaw the review process for ~3,500 paper submissions and led a program committee of ~450 faculty members and industry researchers on 16 program committees. To improve the ACM CHI review process, I worked with the <a href="https://chi.acm.org/">ACM CHI Steering Committee</a> to change the revise and resubmit process to improve the quality of publications. In a similar role, I served as the <a href="https://uist.acm.org/uist2020/">Paper Co-Chair forACM UIST 2020</a>, leading a program committee of ~65 faculty and overseeing ~450 paper submissions. Since the 2020 review process was significantly impacted by Covid-19, we had to significantly revise the submission and review timeline for the 2020 conference. To address the hardship faced by researchers worldwide, we restructured the review process by moving the paper deadline to a later date, removing the rebuttal phase to make up for the lost time, and including additional evaluation methods to remove the need for human-subject studies, which were not feasible at the time, and organized the first-ever virtual program committee for the conference.<br><br>
<b>General Co-Chair and Steering Committee Chair for the ACM Symposium on Computational Fabrication:</b> In the field of fabrication, I served as the <a href="https://scf.acm.org/2017">General Co-Chair for the “ACM Symposium of Computational Fabrication” (ACM SCF)</a>, an event founded in 2016 and now annually held with around 150 attendees. As the second General Co-Chair in 2017, I worked with ACM to convert the non-affiliated conference into an ACM conference with a new technical papers program and <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/3083157">archival proceedings in the ACM Digital Library</a>. Since 2023 I'm serving as the ACM SCF Steering Committee Chair where I'm responsible for the long-term strategic planning of the conference series.<br><br>
<b>ACM CHI Subcommittee 'Building Devices: Hardware, Materials, and Fabrication':</b> To further help the field of fabrication grow, I created a proposal for a <a href="https://chi2023.acm.org/subcommittees/selecting-a-subcommittee/#building_devices">new ACM CHI Subcommittee called ‘Building Devices: Hardware, Materials, and Fabrication’</a>. To gather support for this proposal, I collected signatures from 50+faculty members across different institutions and led a discussion at the annual program committee meeting. The entire approval process took 3 years. The new subcommittee was approved by the ACM CHI Steering committee in 2022 and went into effect for the CHI 2022 review cycle.<br><br>
<b>ACM SIGCHI Summer School on 'Computational Fabrication':</b> Co-located with the ACM SCF conference, I organized an <a href="https://scf-summerschool.com/">ACM SIGCHI summer school on ‘Computational Fabrication and Smart Matter’</a> for 30 PhD students who first attended the conference and then worked together for an additional week on new research ideas and heard from mentors about new developments in fabrication. PhD students came from different fields, including EECS, MechE, Material Science, Architecture, and Design. <br><br>

<h3 class="headline"><a id="teaching">Teaching</a></h3><br>
For my teaching, I received an MIT EECS Outstanding Educator Award and was also nominated by my students for an MIT Teaching with Digital Technologies Award. <br><br>
<b>6.810 Engineering Interactive Technologies (junior/senior undergraduate course):</b> I developed and teach the only permanent subject in Human-Computer Interaction in the MIT EECS Course 6 undergraduate curriculum. The class <a href="https://hcie.csail.mit.edu/classes/2021-fall-6810/6810-engineering-interactive-technologies.html">'6.810 Engineering Interactive Technologies'</a> exposes students to the engineering concepts of interactive hardware. In the class, students <a href="https://hcie.csail.mit.edu/classes/2021-fall-6810/pset-multi-touch-pad.html">build their own capacitive multi-touch pad</a>, the same technology that is used in modern smart phones. Students use cutting-edge fabrication technology, such as conductive inkjet printing, to fabricate the circuit, and after building the sensing electronics apply signal processing and computer vision techniques to extract user’s touch points. Finally, students use machine learning to implement a gesture recognizer that detects the user swiping or writing on the screen. I mentor my PhD students on how to become great instructors, which has resulted in my PhD student Junyi Zhu being honored with the ‘MIT EECS Frederick C. Hennie III Teaching Award’. During fall 2021, which was heavily affected by Covid-19, my class was one of the few hybrid laboratory class experiences available to students. I invested significant effort to restructure the class activities and class infrastructure to allow for this hybrid model, which was <a href="https://news.mit.edu/2021/stefanie-mueller-changes-everything-engineering-class-responds-covid-0219">covered in an MIT News article</a>.<br><br>
<b>6.08 Interconnected Embedded Systems:</b> From 2018-2022 I was also co-teaching the introductory MIT EECS class ‘6.08 Interconnected Embedded Systems’ that around 300 students take every year. This course exposes students to a breadth of EECS concepts by working within an infrastructure of mobile embedded systems, and engineering across different platforms. I was overseeing a section with 80 students and guided the project teams to successful final projects, as covered in this MIT News article about 6.08. <br><br>
<b>6.100 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming:</b> Since spring 2023, I am a lecturer for the MIT EECS class <a href="https://sicp-s1.mit.edu/spring23">‘6.100 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming using Python’</a> that around 400 students take every semester. I am providing lectures on introductory computing concepts, including branching, loops, and bisection search among other topics. <br><br>
<b>6.837 User Interface Design and Implementation:</b> In 2017, I also co-lectured for the Human-Computer Interaction class '6.837 User Interface Design and Implementation' in the MIT EECS curriculum. The class covers design principles, prototyping techniques, evaluation techniques, and the implementation of graphical user interfaces. Deliverables include short programming assignments and a semester-long group project. <br><br>

<b>Program Co-Chair Rising Stars in EECS:</b> In 2018, I led the organization of the <a href="https://risingstars18-eecs.mit.edu/">‘Rising Stars in EECS 2018’ workshop</a>. This two-day academic career workshop supported female PhD students and Postdoc who were on the job market. As a Program Co-Chair, I reviewed >200 folders to select the top 70 applicants and curated a program with 35 panelists and keynote speakers from leading institutions in industry and academia, which was also covered in this MIT News article. In 2021, I led the organization of the ‘Rising Stars in EECS' workshop a second time. To be more inclusive, we opened the workshop to <a href="risingstars21-eecs.mit.edu/">all historically marginalized or underrepresented genders</a> including non-binary and trans-people and revised the composition of all panels for the workshop to include panelists from underrepresented genders to ensure the new group of participants felt welcome and represented. <br><br>
<b>Panel at College of Computing Launch Days:</b> For the MIT College of Computing Launch Days, I co-organized the <a href="https://news.mit.edu/2019/luminaries-panel-mit-schwarzman-college-computing-celebration-0228">‘Luminaries in Computing’ panel</a> in which senior female leaders from industry and academia discussed their journeys. Among the panelists were Jeannette Wing, Barbara Liskov, Jaime Teevan, Patti Maes, and Laura Schulz who shared their insights with the audience. I also regularly serve on panels myself, for instance, I was a panelist at the Grace Hopper Conference on how to find your dreamjob after getting a PhD.
