About

Hyunjoo Oh is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and programmable materials, with a focus on making advanced fabrication and robotics accessible to non-experts. Her work bridges the gap between large-scale interactive environments and hands-on creative learning. Oh’s most-cited paper, “Duco” (2021, 12 citations), introduces a large-scale electronics fabrication robot that transforms passive architectural structures—like walls and windows—into interactive surfaces, enabling new forms of spatial interaction. She also developed “PITAS” (2022, 8 citations), a thin-sheet robotic material using phase-change actuation that allows makers to create shape-changing devices for physical information communication. In parallel, her study on children’s learning with an underwater robot construction kit (2022, 8 citations) demonstrates her commitment to educational technology, showing how tangible, playful tools can foster STEM engagement. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio of innovative, accessible technologies, Oh is shaping the future of interactive materials and maker education, empowering both children and adults to build and program the world around them.
