Hi, I am Chia-Yu, Yeh. I am Chia-Yu,Yeh from Taiwan. Both of my bachelor and master degree focus on industrial design.
I am enthusiastic about gaining new trends, getting inspiring ideas ever y day and joining several kinds of activities, such as attending design workshops, design exhibition, and design competitions. Besides, being the president of the student associations and being youth ambassador in Belize also broaden my horizon a lot.
In my student life, I am a challenge lover and like to step out my comfor t zone to learn more. During my international studying experience in the Netherlands, I learned lots of skill of collaborating with people from different backgrounds, so I plan to work in the international working environment and wish myself create new ideas for whole the world.
13
My enthusiasm for product design To me, designing is not just to design product with the most fashionable appearance, it is to explore users’ real needs and finally create people-oriented products. In order to design the most useful products, we have to appropriately integrate the latest trend of technology, such as Internet of Things, into design in order to catch up with the currently smart society. I n a d d i t i o n , I ’m a l s o e n t h u s i a s t i c a b o u t application of k inetic geometr y structures and bionic structures on innovative products. Af ter numerous tests of draf t models and experiments, I was able to produce new and practical transformation structure, and create new and interesting design to improve interac tion bet ween the produc t and the user.

Moreover, I am so confident with my general design skill. I am good at digital visualization, sketching, mak ing prototypes and build detailed 3D models for production as well. I enjoy making prototypes to test the usability to explore more possibilities to product design. B esides, user research is also my favor ite design p ro cess and I enjoy analy z ing t he results from design research to apply valuable insights into design.

Malaria Malaria is a serious and sometimes life -threatening tropical disease that spreads through parasites. The disease is caused by protozoan parasites that infect a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans. People can get malaria by being bitten by the female anopheles mosquito, which infects the body with plasmodium.

Nigeria In Nigeria, over 90% of the population is at risk of malaria infection, of which 60% is visiting the polyclinics in Nigerian healthcare facilities. Nigerian people’s attitude towards healthcare are shortterm focussed and they prefer to tr y self-medication first due to expensive medical care and the lack of trust in test results.

Problem Definition These problems can be split up in two categories: 1. Problems with the embodiment 2. Problems with the user interface O n e o f t h e m o s t i m p o r t a nt p ro b l e m s wa s t h at t h e vocabulary was difficult to understand. Also, information about the type and quantity of medication was missing. Next to this, there is no indication of steps that still have to be taken, which makes it hard to indicate what time it will take to finish the diagnosis.

Design Goal "
"Our design goal is to make pharmacists in Nigeria use the Excelscope for diagnosing malaria effectively with a feeling of confidence, and thus increasing the patient's trust in the procedure."

User Test 1 To examine which features of each redesign concept were most promising, elaborate user tests were conducted. In these tests, users compared the three redesign concepts in terms of embodiment, user interface, and experience.
Excelscope
Conclusion from user test 1 ​T he participants felt most confident and trustworthy with the Sciencescope and the Humanscope, a relation between medical appearance and trustworthiness/ confidence can be derived. Aspects that turned out to increase the ease of use and efficiency of the Excelscope were the implementation of a timeline, stating an indication of the processing time, and clearly visualization. Finally, it was observed that patient involvement is important for both the pharmacist and patient participants.
53
54
Redesign Proposal the UI concept of the first redesign proposal is extended by recommendations of the company and additional research by the team. Then, the redesign concept is discussed on the three main elements: the embodiment, user interface, and brochure. Furthermore, the final prototype for the second user test will be explained and limitations will be discussed. The section ends with a short explanation of the second usage inspection.
Excelscope
The Embodiment The final proposal consists of three new components and the redesign of some existing parts. The new components are a control button, an on/off button, and speaker hole.

01. The Shape Embodiment C showed a high degree of manageability and easy grip. The soft, round shape gave the device a friendly appearance. The final embodiment is a combination of shape C and the flat surfaces on the bottom of A and B, because shape C was a bit wobbly when it was placed on the table.
02. The Button The final design of the control button is 30 mm wide and 15 mm high. It had a rounded edge on top, and it includes grooves to improve grip.

The User Interface The final proposal consists of three new components and the redesign of some existing parts. The new components are a control button, an on/off button, and speaker hole.
01. The Apperance The proposal for the inter face presents a more medical and technical appearance. The following colors were used as the basis for the user interface:

02. The Summarized Characteristics of The User Interface Three essential functions (‘back’, ‘home’, and ‘help’) navigate through the user interface easily. -Furthermore, a progress bar indicating the current stage of the process is implemented. -Moreover, icons to support certain actions were included. -A result screen shows detailed information about the disease: malaria positive/negative, the type of malaria, the amount of parasites, and the severity are indicated. -The severity is communicated by means of the ‘plus system’, a well-know method in the medical world to indicate the parasites per single thick film field (HPF)

63
64
User Test 2 To evaluate the final redesign of the Excelscope, three different types of user tests were conducted: user tests performed in the Netherlands, user tests conducted through the internet, and user tests conducted in Nigeria.
TEST IN THE NETHERLANDS The user tests in the Netherlands were conducted by the team in person. These results were leading in the analysis of the Excelscope.
QUESTIONNAIRE IN NIGERIA To be able to collect more (contextual) insights from Nigerian people about the redesigned Excelscope and the brochure, a questionnaire was made in Google Forms and send to four Nigerian people.
TEST IN NIGERIA Besides the tests conducted in the Netherlands and through a questionnaire, the team got the oppor tunit y to test the protot ype with re a l p h a r m a c i s t s i n N i g e r i a . Th e te s t s we re conducted by G Young Van, a junior researcher at the TU Delft, who is working on the Excelscope project together with professor J.C. Diehl. The study in Nigeria aimed to investigate confidence in the device, usabilit y, and the value of the brochure.
Excelscope
65
COMBINED CONCLUSION Regarding the confidence of the pharmacist, generally the pharmacists felt confident in using the device. Although, capturing the image made several participant feel insecure. A similar result came from the patient test, as this phase was trusted less. Having an additional physical brochure to communicate the result was highly valued by all participants in the different user tests. However, some elements still involved some difficulties for the user and should therefore be taken into account while making a new redesign. In conclusion, the redesign of the Excelscope worked well in terms of usability, confidence, trust, and communication with the patient.

Background Hot Spring Visiting hot spring is a relaxing activity, and benefits our health by stimulating blood circulation.
Problem definition It is not easy for hot spring owners to make sure that every visitor follows the correc t regulation while going to a hot spring. The important thing while going to a hot spring is not to bath for over 15 minutes and the water level should not exceed heart. If visitors violate the rules, symptoms such as hyperventilation and dizzy may occur.
Hot Spring Care
User observation Unaware of the regulations most visitors are unaware of the regulations when going to a hot spring. Therefore, they only take a break when they feel uncomfortable. In addition, hot spring is a popular activity among the elders, and the risk of death will increase if rules are not properly followed.
Hot Spring Industry I t is impor tant for hot spring owners to regularly inspect the public hot spring area to make sure users’ safety. However, st af fs o f ten had hard t im e monitoring everyone’s condition.

Backgorund Nowadays, most people always focus on their mobile screen or even put on the earphone to listen to their own music at the public space. Unfortunately, nobody interacts with each other and the atmosphere of the society becomes more alone. Th e s a m e s i tuat i o n is also o b ser ved at t he D elf t t rai n station. People build the wall and create the bubbles to decrease any possibility of interaction with people.

Problem The are three factors to lead to the current situation that people care less about surrounding matters and even do not interact with each other anymore.
Focusing on mobiles makes people lose chances to get closer.
Listening to music by earphones is their common activity but prevents people interact more.
There is nothing at the platform which co u l d e a s i l y h e l p p e o p l e to co n n e c t with each other.
High Five MUSIC
Inspiration It's often to see that a piano is displayed at the public space. Music played by pianos is not only easy to attract people's attention, but also create their connec tion. However, Not everyone is able to play the piano.
Hence, it triggers me to come up with a new idea of a interactive music device which could play music by people's simple interaction (i.e. high five, shake hands, fist bump) Eventually, everyone can easily join playing music.

Tests at Delft train station I set up ""High Five MUSIC" at the space o f t h e p l a t fo r m i n t h e D e l f t S t a t i o n where passengers firstly arrive in. Besides that I change to a bigger and clear instruction information and the name of my devices to let passengers quickly know what it is and how to use it. Furthermore, I follow their behavior to change the setting of music. Now, it will play music by keeping touching and stop music when they don't touch each other.
High Five MUSIC
Result During this test almost every passenger notice "High Five Music" and roughly half people tried to play "High Five MUSIC". At first, "High Five MUSIC" attracted groups of friends, couples and family. And then, they started to mix each other to high-five to enjoy music together. In addition, more people took videos and photos when other people play it. One of the most interesting moments is that former users teach the next group of people how to play it. Another interesting moment is that groups of strangers hold each other to become a big circle to play music togehter. It's a successful testing. :)

A big group of passengers play music together!
Passengers hold hands each other to become a big circle to play music and also invite more people join together. It's a really touching and warm view.

Lightwist Dynamic Transforming Floor Lamp Design Lightwist is a oor lamp with a geometric transforming structure. It contains three types of shapes. When a user rotates one of the tetrahedron objects, it will gradually change the entire shape. With a simple action, it provides the surprising experience to users. I spent almost three months to invent this transforming structure and practically apply it to lamp design. My belief is to create new structures to bring more possibilities to design.

Research Phase I found the interesting kinetic structure - Kaleidocycle and did the research about the theory of Kaleidocycle and current application.
Lightwist
Kaleidocycle A kaleidocycle is a paper-folded model connecting 6 tetrahedra on opposite edges into cycle.Â
Variations of Kaleidocycle Beyond 6 sides, higher even number of tetrahedra, 8, 10, 12, etc, can be chained together. These models will leave a central gap, depending on the proportions of the triangle faces.
211
212
Prototypes Phase During the prototype phase, I made numerous paper models and try to figure out the rule of Kaleiodycle. First of all, I found the three type of linear structures made of Tetrahedra and explored more opportunities for new type dynamic structures. In the end of prototyping, I created Lightwist which is a kinetic geometry structure. When it works, the shape of Lightwist would twist a little bit and the feeling is just like looking a real creature breathing itself.

Mechanism Phase After finishing the main model of CURVE, I applied a stepper motor and an Arduino board to innovate a dynamic mechanism to make CURVE become a kinetic art device. Then, I added a LED light to project the shadow of CURVE on the ground and would like to create an impressive ambiance for people.

Research Phase I did the research about the theory of Deployable Structure and explored current products which applied the deployable structure.
Deploayble Strucutre A deployable structure could change shape and even significantly expand or shrink its size. Examples of deployable structures are umbrellas, some tensegrity structures, bistable structures, some Origami shapes, and scissor-like structures. Based on regulation of the book of 《Deployable Structure》, there are several types of deploayble structures.
