About
Xinyi Huang is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, affective computing, and soft robotics, with a focus on designing tangible systems for emotional well-being. Her most-cited work, "Coral Morph: An Artistic Shape-Changing Textile Installation for Mindful Emotion Regulation in the Wild" (2024, 11 citations), introduces a novel approach to emotion regulation by integrating shape-changing textiles with real-time physiological sensing. The installation uses soft-robotic movements driven by users’ heart rate data to create a calming, responsive public art experience. This contribution is notable for bridging artistic expression with evidence-based mindfulness techniques, offering a non-intrusive method for emotional self-regulation in everyday environments. Huang’s research demonstrates how affective materials and interactive art can transform public spaces into sites for mental health support. Her work has been recognized for its innovation in combining aesthetics, engineering, and psychology, positioning her as a rising voice in the design of emotionally intelligent interfaces.
