Talks by Damla Kilic and Feng Zhou

Damla and Feng will present during the lab meeting this week.

Damla Kilic - Negotiating Access to and Sharing Personal Data in a Domestic Context 

In this talk, I will present my second PhD study design and get feedback before I start data collection. This study seeks to explore potential end-user negotiation mechanisms for managing access to and sharing personal data in a domestic context and to elicit requirements for computational negotiation mechanisms. Personal data considered in the study includes financial data, location data, social media, and data from connected (IoT) appliances and smart products Participants are asked to reflect on the negotiation and access challenges associated with sharing such data as they see them and the kinds of computational mechanisms they think might help them address these challenges. These mechanisms are represented on ideation cards, which participants can apply as the see fit.

Feng Zhou - Customize aesthetic prosthesis by dancing motion with interactive computational design

Aesthetic quality of the prosthesis can help to improve psychological wellbeing of the wearer. But, The limited literature on the topic shows that this field is still in its infancy. My research is to explore the improvement of designing aesthetics of prosthesis. In detail, this project explores highly automatic aesthetic customization of prosthesis by interaction between dancing motion from motion capture and algorithm of computational design.
