A presentation from 2026–2027 Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation Fellow Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao

Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao is an associate professor at Cornell University and the founder and director of the Hybrid Body Lab, a transdisciplinary research group exploring cultural and social perspectives in the design of on-skin interfaces. At Radcliffe, she will develop a book on the social and cultural dimensions of these technologies, proposing design interventions that empower rather than constrain how close-body wearable devices are conceived and experienced.
