Engineering and Environmental Analysis Researchers Develop Technology to Invest in Local Communities
Prof. Cindy Kao, design and environmental analysis, is extending her lab’s research on technology and design to uplift young Ithaca girls, and Prof. K. Max Zhang, mechanical and aerospace engineering, is redefining the limits of technology and energy. Across STEM fields, both researchers are breaking down barriers and engage local communities. Kao directs the Hybrid Body Lab, which develops on-skin interfaces — delicate and thin wearable computers that the lab calls “smart tattoos. Kao recently earned the early career National Science Foundation grant of nearly $500,000 to be issued o...
