ATLAS 229
Clement Zheng is an industrial designer, researcher and educator. His work spans computational design, making and tangible interaction design. He is passionate about facilitating other designers in their creative processes, especially as they integrate digital fabrication and physical computing to realize their ideas. His advisor is Ellen Do, professor of computer science in the ATLAS Institute.
Clement successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation -- Everyday Materials for Physical Interactive Systems -- on April 16, 2020 -- see the video recording of the defense.
