Liang He announced today that he has accepted a tenure-track faculty offer from Purdue University in the Department of Computer Graphics Technology (Twitter link). Befitting Liang, his announcement was accompanied by a wonderfully creative logo and sketch for his new Purdue-based lab called De4m Lab (Deform Lab). Congratulations Profess He! Any student would be lucky to have you as an advisor! Jon

We were excited that our paper entitled "Ondulé: Designing and Controlling 3D Printable Springs" was accepted for publication at UIST'19. This work was led by UW CSE PhD student Liang He, and co-authored by Huaishu Peng (UMD CS), Michelle Lin (UW CSE Undergrad), Ravikanth Konjet (Microsoft), François Guimbretière (Cornell), and Jon Froehlich.

PhD student Liang He's t-shirt design was selected for the ACM CHI student volunteers (SV). This is the second time that Liang has won the CHI t-shirt design contest (the first time was at CHI'14). CHI is the premier conference in the field of Human-Computer Interaction, which will be in Glasgow, UK this year. Liang's t-shirt design is based on a Unicorn, Scotland's national animal (front), and a map of Glasgow (back). Congratulations Liang!

Excited to announce that FabGalaxy, a new online interactive visualization tool for searching fabrication research in HCI and Graphics, is live under Personal Fabrication Research in HCI and Graphics: An Overview of Related Work. Thank you to the support from HCI Engineering Group, MIT CSAIL, which is led by Prof. Stefanie Mueller.
