Clarice Risseeuw, along with her colleagues Holly McQuillan, Joana Martins, and Elvin Karana, recently received an Honourable Mention Award for their paper on Flavobacteria presented at the prestigious CHI 2024 conference in Honolulu. The paper, titled “(Re)activate, (Re)direct, (Re)arrange: Exploring the Design Space of Direct Interactions with Flavobacteria,” delves into the utilization of structurally-colored Flavobacteria for enhancing human-microbe interactions. This innovative research, in collaboration with TU Delft, Hoekmine, and Bio4Life, opens new avenues for sustainable living biosensors to foster a circular economy.
CHI 2024, hosted from May 11-16 at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center, is the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction, organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). This year’s conference theme, “Surfing the World,” reflects its focus on pioneering the wave of cutting-edge technology and exploring new developments in human-computer interaction. The conference serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders from around the globe to share their insights and foster collaboration in the field.

This research was part the Living Circular Labels (LCL) project. A comprehensive summary of the Living Circular Labels (LCL) project, which includes the integration of bacteria into biodegradable labels and their activation to function as biosensors, can be found in this master’s thesis by Clarice’s graduate student Evy Murraij.
