“human-computer interaction” is great and all, but have you tried “human computer” interactions ??

And of course, I'll be talking about general painting/color mixing techniques that are applicable beyond thermochromic inks. Here are a few (non-thermochromic) paintings I've made!

This is the research that the workshop is based on: hcie.csail.mit.edu/research/therm…

Curious about painting? How about color-changing paintings?? I'm hosting this 3-week thermochromic painting workshop with the @MITMuseum! We provide the materials, no painting experience required 🎨 Make + take home a unique work of art! tickets 👉 tickets.mitmuseum.org/events/019d201…

Big news!! This year, ACM SIGCHI joins SIGGRAPH as an SCF co-sponsor. Thanks to SIGCHI co-sponsorship, for the first time ever, SCF will be using PCS for paper submissions. We are so excited to see the SCF community grow with researchers from diverse fields 🌱

Mark your calendars! The 2026 ACM Symposium on Computational Fabrication (SCF) will be taking place from December 6-8 at The University of Tokyo 🇯🇵🍡✨ Please check our website for more details on important dates: scf.acm.org We look forward to your submissions!

ICYMI, my talk is up on the @BrownVisualComp YouTube channel! 📺youtube.com/live/qwfENXmZE… Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to talk about my research and for the lovely conversations that followed! ☺️

also since I'm now hopping on the research talk circuit, I've decided to make a new professional (??) animated profile pic (shout-out to my partner Brian for knowing exactly how to position the camera according to my specifications 😆)

happening on Friday!! I'll be talking about my research on building systems that can extend human creative skills -- thank you for inviting me 🥰🥰

There's only so much that I can say in 280 characters, so come to our talks and visit our demo booths (and take home your own barrier-grid animation fidget toy 😉)! See you in Busan~ 🇰🇷

Packing my bags for #UIST2025 !! I'm very fortunate to have been a part of 3 exciting papers this year! Here's a sneak peek at each one.....

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!)

I really should make a longer thread about FabObscura once I get around to it...until then, here's a GIF of a parallax-based animation that we made with the system! (s/o to Rufus Butler Seder for sharing the animation with me)

FabObscura made it to @TheOfficialACM TechNews, which is pretty neat! Thank you for promoting the work!!

+ huge thanks to Maxine, Mingming, and Jiaji for being wonderful coauthors!! 💕

+ special thanks to @arvindsatya1 and @JustinMSolomon for co-coadvising me on this project & expanding my brain in different directions, and ofc thanks to my advisor Stefanie for always supporting my weird ideas

Thank yous @MIT_CSAIL for the lovely article!! I had a lot of fun working on this paper and I’m so excited to present it at @ACMUIST this year :))
