Come on a tour of our #CHI2025 papers: where you can see me demonstrating our new four devices: a novel sensory substitution for the blind, an adaptive skill-acquisition with muscle stimulation, powering devices when you touch them, and PCB recycling! 1/5.

Here's an essay I wrote a while back arguing that there's significant new discoveries at the interface between Human-Computer Interaction (#HCI) and #Neuroscience : and that's why I am organizing a meeting with 20+ minds, starting tomorrow (in japan)!
“we are close to hitting a hard barrier when it comes to new computer interfaces: the complexity of the human body & biology”. Excited to join the “Human-Computer-Interfaces x Neuroscience” Shonan Meeting, organized by @plopesresearch et al. 🤗

A pleasure to host @rkmt at the Human-Computer Integration Lab where he gave a talk about "Human-AI Integration". Inspiring as always and thanks for staying for a full day of demos and giving insightful feedback to many of our lab members. (thanks @romainnith for co-organizing)

Thought piece at @CACMmag about computational ideas for recycling e-waste by my PhD student Jasmine Lu (@xjasminelu). We explore how recycling could take new forms assisted by algorithms, human-computer interfaces (#hci) and could be applied to more of the #computing / #AI stack!.
"Full Stack Recycling Approaches for Computing Devices" by @xjasminelu (@UChicago) and @plopesresearch (@UChicagoCS), considers methods that assist with recycling each layer of an #electronic device rather than the entire device at its end-of-life.
