Hi, I'm Shuhong! 👋
I'm a third-year PhD student in Information Science at Cornell University, advised by François Guimbretière.
I'm building computational fabrication machines for textiles, rethinking how weaving, braiding, and knitting can be unified and programmed. My recent project, Kneadix, a multi-process loom that combines these techniques in one machine, received a Best Paper Award at UIST 2026.🏆
Before Cornell, I studied at Zhejiang University, working with Guanyun Wang and Ye Tao. To dig deeper into fabricating functional objects, I also collaborated with Alexandra Ion at CMU, and worked with Lining Yao on sustainable fabrication.
I'm always excited to connect with people interested in fabrication, textiles, and making physical things smarter. Feel free to reach out!
