Jeffrey Huang is the Director of the Media and Design Laboratory and a Full Professor at the Faculty of Computer and Communications Sciences (I&C), and at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC). His research explores the vision of fusing physical and virtual architectures. His current research and teaching projects include the examination of emerging architectural typologies (workspaces, banking, museums, theater), novel, organic approaches to architectural design (parametric design, algorithmic design), data-driven visualizations, the integration of physical computing (sensors, actuators, RFID, LEDs, mobile devices) into architecture and cities, and more generally, design- centered approaches to human-computer interaction (design thinking).
