Junying Zhou is a PhD researcher at the Royal College of Art and an interdisciplinary designer working at the intersection of smart textiles, soft robotics, wearable technology, and human-centered design. Her research explores how interactive clothing can support emotional regulation and wellbeing through embodied, affective, and multisensory interaction. Drawing on design research, psychology, and material experimentation, she develops wearable systems that integrate sensing, responsive actuation, and 3D-printed structures to rethink the relationship between technology, the body, and care.
