Rebecca Lin

I am an EECS PhD student at MIT, advised by Erik Demaine in CSAIL and Zach Lieberman at the Media Lab. My research has been recognized and generously supported by the MIT MAD Design Fellowship, the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship, and the MIT Stata Family Presidential Fellowship.

As a researcher and artist, I develop mathematical abstractions and computational tools to support expressivity in art, design, and fabrication. My doctoral work investigates the design of reconfigurable, reusable, and responsive garments. My art practice explores creating imagery from patterns (of words).

My time is devoted in equal parts to research, art, and teaching.
