Summary
Ticha Sethapakdi is a PhD candidate in MIT’s HCI Engineering Group who blends artistic practice and technical rigor to create personal fabrication systems that enable dynamic, responsive physical media. With 11 years of experience spanning research internships at Adobe and the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, plus teaching roles at MIT and Carnegie Mellon, she focuses on end-to-end design tools and fabrication processes that translate artistic insight into new creative technologies. Her work sits at the intersection of art, HCI, and fabrication, exploring how materials and computation can co-evolve to extend human creativity. Based in Cambridge, she brings a rare combination of BFA-trained visual sensibility and advanced CS research expertise to prototyping physical-digital experiences.
