DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alexandra Ion\nhosted by Bernd Bickel\nAbstract: Digit
 al fabrication machines such as 3D printers excel at producing arbitrary s
 hapes\, such as for decorative objects. Recently\, researchers started to 
 engineer not only the outer shape of objects\, but also their internal mic
 rostructure. Such objects\, typically based on 3D cell grids\, are also kn
 own as metamaterials. Metamaterials have been used\, for example\, to crea
 te materials with variable compliance. So far\, metamaterials were underst
 ood as materialswe want to think of them as machines. We investigated thre
 e aspects of such functional metamaterial objects: (1) materials that impl
 ement mechanisms based on their microstructures\, (2) that employ simple m
 echanical computation\, and (3) interactive metamaterial objects that chan
 ge their outside to interact with their environment. The main benefit of t
 his approach is that the functionality is solely defined by the objects mi
 crostructure\, therefore no assembly is required. In this talk\, we will l
 ook at the mechanics of such microstructures\, as well as the software tha
 t assists users in creating these.  BioAlexandra Ion is a PhD candidate at
  Prof. Patrick Baudisch's Human-Computer Interaction lab at the Hasso Plat
 tner Institute in Germany. She holds an MSc from the University of Applied
  Sciences Upper Austria in Hagenberg. Her research focuses on new types of
  machines\, the functionality of which are solely defined by the materials
  microstructure. She develops software that assist users in creating such 
 intricate structures. Her work has been published in and awarded by premie
 r venues including ACM UIST and CHI.
