101 of Morphing Matter in 101 seconds. by @UCBerkeley @berkeley @Cal_Engineer @BerkeleyME Morphing matter is an intellectual playground, one that sits at the intersection of science, design and nature. news.berkeley.edu/2025/07/03/ins…
After 3.5 years at @MorphingMatLab , Qiuyu (Luca) Lu @Dr_Qiuyu is moving on to an exciting next step in his career - professorship! What will be your lab name? See his instrumental work: morphingmatter.org/member/qiuyu-lu
Congrats team from @Cal_Engineer
🚀My first work from Berkeley Our paper BioTube will be presented at #CHI2025! DIY methods to create alginate tubes for biodegradable sensors, soft actuators, and morphing food🧪🧑🍳 Huge thanks to @YuechengPeng for leading this project, Tyler Peng,@Dr_Qiuyu,@YueYang98,@lining_yao
Qiuyu Lu @Dr_Qiuyu gave a lab tour during the #BerkeleyME's Alumni Event. #MEgaGive
Last October, #BerkeleyME had our 2nd Annual Alumni Event during @Cal Homecoming Weekend. We hope you'll join us again this year on October 3rd! #MEgaGive #CalBigGive give.berkeley.edu/me
Giving two invited talks at #F24MRS. Programmable Degradation (SB11.03.01) and Hygromorphic Wood Actuators (SB03.08.01), both as examples of Sustainable Morphing Matter. mrs.org/meetings-event… @Dr_Qiuyu @BerkeleyME @Cal_Engineer
Hosted by @PrernaRavi1 and @formanfunction, our diversity chairs at #UIST2024, we talked about work, mentoring, life, identity, and my little five-month old girl, in the Women's Lunch panel. Sharing the stage with Wendy Mackay, Mira Dontcheva,@amypavel @alexiiion @parastooabtahi
Enormous & fun banquet at #UIST2024 huge kudos to local super chair @hciprof and general chairs @mynkgoel @lining_yao and great keynote Yaser Sheikh (@subail )
#UIST2024 banquet! Thanks all for joining!
Thanks Qiuyu (Luca) Lu @Dr_Qiuyu for all the contributions to #UIST2024, as a paper&demo&poster presenter, an Ask Me Anything co-chair, a session chair, and a PC for paper review! @Dr_Qiuyu, from @MorphingMatLab, is on faculty job market!
This has been my most engaging UIST ever! Served as the organizer & PC member, chaired 3 sessions, presented 1 paper, 1 demo, and 2 posters, and connected with many old and new friends. A big thanks to my collaborators, co-chair, our AMA guests, and everyone for making this an…
We should do a collection of creative trophy designs for different tracks at #UIST2024 !
We will announce three awards (two jury awards and one people’s choice award) at the #UIST2024 closing. Stay till the end for 🏆 🏆 🏆
after having multiple work/life/"worrying about the future" type crises this year,,, hearing from these wonderful mentors at the women's panel was really healing for me. Thank you @PrernaRavi1, Wendy, Mira, @amypavel @alexiiion @lining_yao and @parastooabtahi! #UIST2024
Join us at #UIST2024!
We challenge the conventional view of degradation as merely an end-of-life process. Instead, we leverage programmed sequential degradation for innovative morphing device design. Join my presentation at 11 AM on Wed and our demo on Mon to learn more. :) twtr.to/B66nQ
This is a must attend! @ishii_mit Thanks for your passion in supporting the #UIST community !
🗓️Planning your #UIST2024 schedule? Don’t miss out on the two AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions! (1/2) Next Monday (Oct 14), join us as Prof. Hiroshi Ishii @ishii_mit shares his insights on “Vision-Driven Research” and answers your questions. twtr.to/zJ9Lv
