Description

During this ADHC Talk, Sara Whitver will talk with our guest, Dr. Amanda Koh. Amanda runs the Koh Laboratory which “focuses on engineering soft materials and material interfaces to enable new stretchable electronics, soft robotics, smart devices, and porous materials.” One of Amanda’s current projects is to design a wearable device that helps singers measure their breath while singing, with the ultimate hope of making this device more widely available for breathing therapies. Amanda and Sara will talk about what it means to design and create wearable devices and what kinds of ways these wearable devices can change our perception of what it means to be human and understand our bodies relative to the world around us.
