About

Aman Parnami is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, shape-changing interfaces, and soft robotics. Their work focuses on making the fabrication of pneumatically actuated inflatable structures more accessible, addressing a critical bottleneck in the field. Parnami’s key contribution is a rapid prototyping scheme that simplifies the complex, multi-domain process—which typically requires expertise in pneumatics, elastomer manufacturing, and embedded systems—into a streamlined workflow. This innovation, presented in their 2019 paper “Rapid Prototyping of Pneumatically Actuated Inflatable Structures” (5 citations), lowers the barrier for designers and researchers to create dynamic, shape-changing objects. Beyond hardware, Parnami explores the augmentation of traditional storytelling with interactive digital media, as seen in their work “Aesop” (3 citations), which transforms one-dimensional narratives into multi-channel, engaging experiences. By bridging engineering and user experience, Parnami’s research opens new possibilities for tangible interfaces and expressive media, making complex technologies more approachable for the broader HCI community.
