description: "Canan Dağdeviren is a Turkish academic, physicist, material scientist, and associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she currently holds the LG Career Development Professorship in Media Arts and Sciences. Dağdeviren is the first Turkish scientist in the history of the Harvard Society to become a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. As a faculty member, she directs her own Conformable Decoders research group at the MIT Media Lab. The group works at the intersection of materials science, engineering and biomedical engineering. They create mechanically adaptive electromechanical systems that can intimately integrate with the target object of interest for sensing, actuation, and energy harvesting, among other applications. Dağdeviren believes that vital information from nature and the human body is \"coded\" in various forms of physical patterns. Her research focuses on the creation of conformable decoders that can \"decode\" these patterns into beneficial signals and/or energy."
