HI, I'M RUOJIA

​

I am a human-computer interaction and human-robot interaction researcher making technology to empower people to live more consciously and creatively.

• Consciously: understanding ourselves and doing the things that are important to us

• Creatively: exercising our ability to be creative and finding new ways to create the life we want

My research explores tangible interactions and social robotics that support well-being, reflection, and behavior change by making these practices more visible, engaging, and meaningful.

​

I’m currently a PhD student in Creative Technology & Design at the ATLAS Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Professor Ellen Do in ACME Creative Machine Environment (ACME) Lab. I received my B.S. and M.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering, with a concentration in Robotics, from Cornell University. Outside of the lab, I am involved in dance and activism.
