Dissertation proposal: Danli Luo, "What has automation taught us: material inquiry through programmable infrastructure”

The HCDE and DUB communities are invited to attend a dissertation proposal defense by PhD candidate Danli Luo. What has automation taught us: material inquiry through programmable infrastructure, Proposal Abstract:Automation promises precision, reproducibility, and scale. The materials and processes I work with seem to resist those promises. Cooking, growing fungi, and culturing bacteria are variable and sensitive, and the knowledge needed to work with them is largely tacit. How do we build infrastructure where computational control and these materials coexist productively? Trained in both materials science and human-centered design, I approach this question by treating automation not only as a means of production but as a mode of inquiry. Across food, biomaterials, and biological experimentation, I build programmable infrastructure and surface what automation has taught us about material processes. The central claim is that making a material process computationally expressible is itself a form of material… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Sieg Building (SIG).
