About

Meng-Han Yeh is a researcher at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and materials science, with a focus on accessible, line-based actuation technologies. Her most-cited work, "ModiFiber" (2019, 42 citations), addresses a critical gap in the field: while thin-line actuators have been widely adopted in diverse HCI contexts—from fabrics and paper art to soft robotics and human hair—accessible alternatives beyond shape memory alloy (SMA) wire and motor-driven passive lines remain scarce. Yeh’s major contribution lies in expanding the toolkit for interactive materials, enabling more versatile and low-cost actuation for designers and researchers. Her work has influenced the development of responsive textiles, adaptive interfaces, and soft robotic systems, demonstrating how simple, accessible mechanisms can drive complex interactions. By bridging material innovation and user-centered design, Yeh empowers practitioners to create more dynamic, tangible experiences. Her research continues to shape how we think about embedding movement into everyday objects, making actuation more democratic and creatively accessible.
