Researchers at the ATLAS Institute 🦬 Institute at CU Boulder hope their DIY machine will help designers experiment with making their own, sustainable textiles from a range of natural ingredients—maybe even crab shells or algae! #CUBoulder #Climate bit.ly/4cqbqWi

Our biofibers machine was featured in the CBSColorado—check out how we use gelatin to make textiles that can be dissolved and recycled youtube.com/watch?v=GhX3GV… @EldySteph ATLAS Institute 🦬 CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 Michael Rivera Living Matter Lab



'How fibers spun from gelatin could help reduce #TextileWaste'? "Michael Rivera, an assistant prof..with ATLAS Institute 🦬 at the University of Colorado Boulder, talks about dissolvable #fibers made from gelatin" | All Things Considered npr.org/2024/07/07/nx-… #textiles #clothing #recycling #circularity

Last week I chatted with All Things Considered about making dissolvable textiles using our open-source biofibers spinning machine. Check out the interview here: npr.org/2024/07/07/nx-… @EldySteph Living Matter Lab ATLAS Institute 🦬 CU Boulder Engineering 🦬


Need to solve PDEs, and struggle with meshing? Heard about "Walk on Spheres," but didn't know where to start? Check out the awesome intro course by Rohan Sawhney and @baileymmiller1, just posted from #SGP2024: youtube.com/watch?v=1u-5b4…

My lab is #hiring a textile research specialist staff member! We work at the intersection of #materials, #manufacturing, and #robotics and we're a part of Rice University Mechanical Engineering in Rice Engineering and Computing .

.CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute alum Mike Rivera has found a way to use spent coffee grounds for 3D printing. From espresso cups to flower pots, his creations are sustainable and surprisingly strong: bit.ly/47JVdKL



Learn more about the Utility Research Lab's work in 3D printing, textiles, and sustainability as part of ATLAS Institute 🦬 CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 😃

Please join us in congratulating longtime staff member, Queenie Kravitz, on her retirement today. She started Carnegie Mellon University in 1993 and the HCII in 2004, and as graduate program coordinator certified our very first HCI PhD and master's degrees. Congrats, Queenie! #CMUhcii


📢I'm recruiting 3 PhD students to work on digital fabrication, computational design, and sustainability in the Utility Research Lab at ATLAS Institute 🦬 / CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 . I'll be at #UIST2024 and am happy to chat with anyone interested in joining✨. More Info: utilityresearchlab.org (1/4)

Come do a PhD with us at ATLAS Institute 🦬 and CU Boulder Engineering 🦬 😉


If you’re interested in getting a PhD, this is a great chance to chat with the cool faculty at ATLAS Institute 🦬. And if you’re into digital fabrication, computational design and sustainability, I’ll be there recruiting the Utility Research Lab 🖥️🔩

Come learn about doing a PhD in our lab w/ Michael Rivera at ATLAS Institute 🦬 — info session is tomorrow! Sign-up Link: grad.apply.colorado.edu/register/?id=0…
