Jiakun Yu
Alumni (formerly PhD Student) · Postdoc at Purdue
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University's Institute for Physical Artificial Intelligence (IPAI), working with Prof. Karthik Ramani at the Convergence Design Lab and Dr. Sooyeon Jeong at the HAI Lab. I completed my PhD in 2024 at the University of Sydney, where my research focused on the "Computational Design and Fabrication of Customizable Interactive Soft Devices", supervised by A/Prof. Anusha Withana and Prof. Judy Kay. I also hold a Master of Data Science from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering from Monash University. My current research interests lie at the intersection of soft sensors, epidermal sensing technologies, and smart textiles. My goal is to create interfaces that seamlessly integrate with the human body and improve user-centric interactions.
