Yuxiang Cheng
Researcher and Designer of Human-Computer Interaction

Yuxiang is graduating from NYU's Interactive Media Arts program and joining the Master in Design Studies at Harvard Guraduate School of Design. Building upon his foundation in industrial design and years of dedicated practice, he expanded into interactive experience design, combining expertise across engineering and media technology throughout his undergraduate studies.

His tech stacks involves:
Design/Fabrication of mechatronic and embedded systems with a industrial design mindset
Advanced manufacturing with novel materials and mechanics (e.g. compliant)
Web development in the context of media arts and ubiquitous computing

Research Areas:

Tangible Intelligence

Hardware that senses and acts on the body, with embedded intelligence.

Perceptual Computing

Multimodal sensing and actuation for non-visual augmentation.

Critical Making

Open-hardware fabrication for distributed, sustainable practice.

In standard terms: TUI, ubiquitous computing, haptics, assistive technology, fabrication, and machine perception.
