👋 Hi, I’m @YueChengPeng, now an HCI Master's student at the University of Washington. I research at the intersection of design, electrical engineering, material science, and mechanical engineering. I'm especially interested in personal fabrication research in HCI.

🧪 I was a visiting researcher in Morphing Matter Lab at University of California, Berkeley, working with Lining Yao on fabrication of biodegradable sensors and actuators.

🧶 In UW, I worked in Machine Agency with Nadya Peek and Hannah on the fabrication of knitted sensors.

🩼 I also worked in Make4All Group with Jennifer Mankoff and Jerry on using personal & digital fabrication to solve accessibility challenges.

🧤 At the very beginning of this journey, I worked with my undergraduate advisor, Guanyun Wang, on the personal fabrication of functional textiles.
