Tailored Controls: Creating Personalized Tangible User Interfaces from Paper
(2019)Proceedings of the 2019 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and SpacesUser interfaces rarely adapt to the specific user preferences orthe task at hand. We present a method that allows to quickly and inexpensively create personalized interfaces from plain paper. Users can cut out shapes and assign control functions to these paper snippets via a simple configuration interface. After configuration, control takes place entirely through the manipulation of the paper shapes, providing the experience ofa tailored ...Conference Paper -
Formica Forma: Explorations in Insect-Robot Collaboration for Emergent Design and Manufacturing
(2021)Distributed Proximities: Proceedings of the 40th Annual Conference of the Association for Computer Aided Desing in Architecture. Volume 1: Technical Papers, Keynote ConversationsHybrid robot systems that cooperate with live organisms is an active area of research, in part to leverage biological advantages such as adaptivity, resilience, and sustainability. Formica Forma explores new possibilities of codesigning and cofabricating in partnership with Western Harvester ants to build forms that would be challenging with industrial techniques. Using a robotically controlled UV light (350–405 nm) as an environmental ...Conference Paper -
Link travel time estimation with spatial correlations based on OD data
(2021)Understanding complicated city traffic patterns has been recognized as a key goal by twenty- first century urban planners and traffic management systems, resulting in a significant rise in the quantity and variety of traffic data gathered. For example, taxi firms in a growing number of large cities have begun to collect metadata for each individual vehicle trip, such as origin, destination, and travel duration. Taxi data offer information ...Conference Paper -
Distributed control for laneless and directionless movement of connected and automated vehicles
(2021)Laneless and directionless movement is a novel traffic characteristic of trajectory behavior for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in highway networks. Applying this concept can exploit the highway’s maximum potential capacity, especially under unevenly distributed directional demand. Nevertheless, the elimination of the conventional notion of vehicles’ movements on the separated domains of lanes and directions, can consequently ...Conference Paper -
InP/GaAsSb Double Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor Technology with f(MAX)=1.2 THz
(2021)2021 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM)Transistor (DHBT) emitter fin architecture with a record fMAX = 1.2 THz, a simultaneous fT = 475 GHz and BVCEO = 5.4 V. The resulting BVCEO × fMAX = 6.48 THz-V is unparalleled in semiconductor technology. The performance arises because the process allows: i) an optimal choice of baseemitter access distance down to 10 nm, ii) the use of thicker base contact metals, and iii) the minimization of parasitic capacitances and resistances via ...Conference Paper -
Pre-installed Reinforcement for 3D Concrete Printing
(2022)RILEM Bookseries ~ Third RILEM International Conference on Concrete and Digital FabricationProviding reinforcement is essential for the structural integrity of concrete elements and for safely handling, transporting, and assembling prefabricated concrete parts. However, the integration of reinforcement is a persisting challenge in 3D concrete printing with extruded concrete. This paper presents a production process consisting of 3D printing around pre-installed reinforcement. The reinforcement is composed of conventional ...Conference Paper -
Parametric Approach to Simplified Life Cycle Assessment of Bamboo Frame Buildings
(2021)The provision of sustainable housing solutions is one of the main challenges in emerging economy countries. Furthermore, it is clear that a sustainable solution should be based on renewable bio-based materials. The scientific and practical evidence clearly suggests that the use of bamboo in the provision of housing solutions not only brings environmental but also socio-economic benefits to the communities using these strategies. One barrier ...Conference Paper -
Digitally Fabricated Keyed Concrete Connections
(2022)RILEM Bookseries ~ Third RILEM International Conference on Concrete and Digital FabricationMost current technologies in digital fabrication with concrete (DFC) rely on controlled environmental conditions and, thus, have been used in prefabricated construction. Prefabricated reinforced concrete elements produced in factories need assembly and connection on-site. Using DFC for producing tailor-made geometries and applying surface roughness generates new possibilities for the design of connections. DFC enables (i) fabricating dry ...Conference Paper -

Enhanced Stability of Resonant Racetrack Plasmonic-Organic-Hybrid Modulators
(2022)Technical Digest SeriesA high-speed and compact plasmonic organic racetrack modulator is shown to be orders of magnitude more robust against operating condition changes compared to resonant modulators based on the plasma dispersion effect while maintaining thermal tunability. Stable operation at 80°C is shown with no degradation.Conference Paper
