I will admit at first I was skeptical of pneumatic actuations in fabric, as historically that required large compressors, but after @ozgunkilic collaborated with Ali Shtarbanov using his FlowI/O platform, the entire system was compressed down to ~ a size of two packs of cards.

Not only does this paper have incredible depth of contribution (from pragmatic characterization to poetic application), @ozgunkilic did much of the work in isolation over Covid, as a foreign visiting student at MIT.

(1/8) Wow, so happy to share I was admitted @MIT to receive my Ph.D. at the @MediaLab . I will continue to study under Prof. Hiroshi Ishii (Pioneer of Tangible User Interfaces) and will be co-advised by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld (Director of the Center of Bits and Atoms).
