We are so excited to help host Assistant Professor Sowmya Somanath from the University of Victoria, Canada for her summer sabbitical at the UW Allen School of Computer Science. Professor Somanath and I are collaborating on emerging fabrication techniques to support community-driven urban design modification.
We design, build, and evaluate new interactive tools and techniques to address pressing societal challenges. Makeability refers both to how our technological innovations make new abilities possible for humans as well as our educational mission to help students gain new abilities as they learn and grow through research, invention, and human-centered design.
