New PhD students
am actively seeking creative, disruptive, technically ambitious Ph.D. students to join the Hybrid Ecologies Lab in 2027 to help us aggressively invent our future technologies. Applicants demonstrating expertise and creativity in physical AI, robotics, and prototyping electrical, mechanical, kinetic, and/or biological systems with particular interest in novel materials and materiality are strongly encouraged to apply to the UC Berkeley EECS Ph.D. graduate program. Please apply through EECS under CS (HCI area) and include a portfolio of work. I cannot respond to individual inquiries. Deadline: December 2026. Let's transform our world together!
