Jackie Chia-Hsun Lee
Jackie Lee, a second year Ph.D student, is exploring how we can design machines to be civilized and considerate to people. His work includes industrial design on everyday objects, human factor studies for daily behaviors, and artificial intelligence for exploring human needs. He worked in the Kitchen of the Future since fall 2003. He built many physical design media before he came to MIT. He received MS degree from MIT Media Lab and M.Arch degree from National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan.
Jackie’s works have been recognized as smart daily technology for human life. His Smart Sink project (with Leonardo Bonanni) received the 3rd place award in SIGGRAPH 2004 Student Research Competition. He was invited to Cleanup Corp. to build a Concept Kitchen in Jan 2005. His research projects have been invited to many exhibitions. Lover’s Cups project (with Hyemin Chung) was interviewed by Discovery Channel and National Geographic in spring 2006. He was invited to the largest emerging technology exhibition- NextFest 2006, NYC in fall 2006. HiTV project (with Chaochi Chang) was invited to Next 2006, Copenhagen in winter 2006.
Jackie is also interested in re-discover technologies from cultural perspectives. He organized Nightmarket 2006 workshop using traditional culture phenomenon- Taiwanese Nightmarket- to seek technologies rooted from sociocultural experience in summer 2006.<
