Individual Projects
Knitting Resonant Circuits
In this CHI publication we present a knitted inductive flex sensor which seamlessly integrates a coil and a capacitor into a soft and flexible tubular knit.
Designing Smart 3D-Printed Structures
In this CHI paper, we present InSense3D, a novel approach for designing smart 3D-printed structures that leverage inductive sensing to detect structural deformation without requiring internal wiring or electronics.
Inductive Sensing using the embroidery machine
In this UIST paper, we present a novel method for embroidering fully soft resonant LC circuits to enable high-resolution inductive pressure sensing directly on textile substrates. Using a single continuous enameled wire, we integrate both the coil and the capacitor into the fabric through precise embroidery, forming a compact LC circuit without the need for external components.
The right yarn for the embroidery machine
At AUTEX 2025, we presented a work, where we systematically evaluated 15 commercially available conductive yarns, representing a diverse range of fabrication methods — including spun yarns, multifilament structures, and twisted filaments — to assess their suitability for use in wearable electronics, particularly in embroidery-based integration.
Soft Inductive Pressure Sensors
In this work, we explore how pressure sensors can be made from ferromagnetic particles and elastomers, like the silicone Ecoflex. We evaluated different ferromagnetic particles and implemented several functional prototypes that show the pros and cons of our approach.
Emotion-Aware In-Car Feedback
In this work, we explore personalized feedback mechanisms to help drivers regulate their emotions for improved road safety. Our study involved 21 participants experiencing three emotional states during driving in a simulated driving environment.
Capacitive Thin-Film User Interfaces on Stones
Integrating interactive interfaces into everyday items is crucial for connecting the digital and physical worlds. This work presents eStone, an approach were natural stone surfaces are used substrates for capacitive thin-film sensors acting as interactive interfaces.
Interaction with a 3D Surface for an Innovative Input Experience on a Central Console
In this work, we explore the development of an interactive 3D central console for vehicles aimed at simplifying access to tasks unrelated to driving, such as adjusting seats and controlling music.
Threads of Traceability: Textile IDs in the Fabric of Sustainable Fashion
Textile fabrication has evolved over millennia, transitioning from a focus on affordability and speed to a current emphasis on sustainability. With Textile ID, we envision a digital garment passport that seamlessly incorporates directly into textile surfaces as a design element to bridge the gap between sustainability and consumer engagement, transforming garments into interactive storytellers of their ecological journey.
