Hi, I'm Tung.
I'm an assistant professor at Chiba Laboratory, the Department of Creative Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo.
My works are at the intersection of Digital Fabrication, Soft Robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction.
I like reading, programming, fixing things, DIY, and history.
I spend time with my wife and my daughter when not playing with my 3D printers and electronic stuff. We read, travel, and cook.
Tung D. Ta is an assistant professor in the Department of Creative Informatics, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo. His research interests are in the fields of digital fabrication, flexible electronic circuits and soft-bodied robotics. He received his Ph.D. in Information Communication Engineering - The University of Tokyo in 2019, M.E. in 2016, and B.E. from the department of Software Engineering - FPT University in 2012. He is a member of ACM, IEEE, IEICE, IPSJ, and SICE.
