PURNENDU

It is pronounced as pour-nen-doo and means Full Moon in Sanskrit. I just go by a singular name. I am a designer, trained as a physicist. I combine my love for design, physics, and computation to fabricate human centered programmable materials... I love to surround myself with great people, crazy ideas and am always seeking creative environments. Currently, I am working at the Reality Labs (RL) Research at Meta on soft wearable haptic devices. I am PhD student at the interdisciplinary ATLAS Institute at University of Colorado Boulder where I am developing fabrication techniques for materials with controllable shape, stiffness, and color. I work with Carson Bruns , Greg Whiting , and Mark D. Gross and actively collaborate with Christoph Keplinger and Daniel Leithinger .
