Textile Hybrid Lab reimagines textiles—one of humanity’s most intimate and adaptable materials—as interfaces for care, interaction, intelligence, sustainability, and expression. Through the convergence of textile science, electronics, AI, and computation, we develop textile systems that expand what textiles can sense, do, and communicate.


Health, Care & Rehabilitation

We develop textile-based wearable systems for biosignal sensing, wearable monitoring, rehabilitation, and therapeutic support. By combining soft materials, physiological interfaces, and human-centered design, we create textile system that support comfort, mobility, and everyday care.

Robotics & Interfaces

We design textile systems that sense, actuate, and respond through embedded electronics, soft robotics, and programmable structures. Our work explores textiles as interactive interfaces for assistance, communication, and adaptive human-technology experiences.

AI & Virtual Design

We translate textiles into digital models through AI-based digitization, virtual prototyping, and computational evaluation. By connecting physical materials with predictive tools, we make textile design more scalable, data-driven, and accessible.

Performance & Sustainability

We develop textile materials and processes that improve performance while addressing environmental responsibility. Our research explores surface engineering, responsible coloration, and scalable fabrication strategies for future textile applications.

Art, Design & Expression

We explore textiles as media for form, transformation, and embodied expression. This direction connects material experimentation with speculative design, opening new possibilities for how textiles are perceived, worn, and experienced.
