Utility Research Lab

We invent and investigate digital fabrication technology with sustainability in mind as part of @cuatlas and @cuengineering. Directed by @mriveralee.

[Utility Research Lab @UtilityLabCU]

Ever wonder how to recycle a multi-material 3D print ♻️? In our latest paper, we use computation & dissolvable materials *without* compromising functionality.

[CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute @cmuhcii]

Please join us in congratulating longtime staff member, Queenie Kravitz, on her retirement today. She started @CarnegieMellon in 1993 and the HCII in 2004, and as graduate program coordinator certified our very first HCI PhD and master's degrees. Congrats, Queenie!
