Soft Technologies Lab

The Soft Technologies Lab (directed by Dr. Irmandy Wicaksono) explores the design and development of intelligent textiles and soft systems across scales to reimagine and shape future objects, interactions, and environments. Rooted in curiosity and collaboration across disciplines, we work toward applications ranging from health and well-being, human-computer interaction, to interactive arts, architecture, and beyond. The lab strives to discover fabrication techniques, hardware systems, and algorithmic advancements that will propel soft materials and soft computing technologies, while unraveling new insights, creating novel experiences, and driving transformative, translational innovations that will connect and disrupt various fields.
