About

Kynan Eng is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of interactive spaces, neuromorphic engineering, and stroke rehabilitation. His most influential work centers on the Ada project, an autonomous interactive environment deployed at the Swiss national expo in 2002 that engaged over 553,700 visitors. This groundbreaking exhibit demonstrated how intelligent spaces could learn to influence collective human behavior, with his foundational paper on this topic garnering 41 citations. Eng's contributions extend to developing a tactile luminous floor for interactive environments and creating the Cerebellum Chip, an analog VLSI implementation of a cerebellar model for classical conditioning. In rehabilitation, he has advanced stroke recovery methodologies, particularly for acute-phase patients, by integrating neuroscientific hypotheses with clinical assessments. His work on detecting movement intention for stroke rehabilitation further bridges robotics and therapeutic practice. With over 100 citations across his key publications, Eng's research has profoundly impacted how we design spaces that respond to and shape human behavior, while also advancing neuromorphic approaches to adaptive control systems.
