Yiyue Luo

I am an Assistant Professor at University of Washington ECE. I received my Ph.D. degree in EECS from MIT in 2024, advised by Professor Wojciech Matusik and Professor Tomas Palacios. Before joining MIT, I received my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Professor John A. Roger. My research interests lie at the intersection of digital fabrication, human-computer/robot interaction, and applied machine learning.
