Research Quick Takes
Nov 13, 2025
Research Startup Showcase
Postdoc researcher Yanqiao Li Th'25, advised by Professor Jason Stauth, presented his startup, uDrive, at The Engine's Blueprint Showcase in Boston—the culmination of a program that helps researchers build "tough tech" startups. Leveraging Li's PhD research at Thayer, uDrive develops technologies for next-generation haptics and compact cooling solutions for mobile devices. Smartphones currently use basic haptics [vibrations] for notifications," Li explained. "High-definition haptics, enabled by new piezoelectric actuators, can do much more—such as allowing you to feel the texture of clothes while shopping online. The widespread adoption of this technology, however, is currently limited by a lack of high-voltage, energy-efficient electronics. Our startup is bridging this gap."

Measuring Human-AI Trust
PhD student Bruno Miranda Henrique gave a presentation that won the research award for the graduate division in math and computer science at this year's International Forum on Research Excellence (IFoRE) by Sigma Xi. His research, titled "Dynamic Trust Calibration Using Contextual Bandits," addresses the need for a definitive and objective method for measuring trust between humans and AI. "Our indicator dynamically assesses when to trust AI contributions based on learned contextual information," reads the abstract. "These findings not only enhance theoretical understanding but also provide practical guidance for developing more trustworthy AI systems supporting decisions in critical domains, for example, disease diagnoses and criminal justice."

Co-Designing Education
Professor Rafe Steinhauer authored "Improving Public Schools by Co-Design," published in the inaugural issue of Dartmouth's Social Impact Review. The article centers on Steinhauer's unique approach to combining design and education. "Our program [Upper Valley Education Design Clinic] prioritizes co-design. Together, district teams and undergraduate students [ENGS 15.11: Design and Education] learn design thinking ... This is an exciting model for town-gown partnership—not just universities serving schools, but higher education and K-12 communities working as co-designers of change," writes Steinhauer.
