Design of Implicit Interactions

Wendy Ju is Executive Director for Interaction Design Research at Stanford Universitys Center for Design Research, and an Associate Professor in the Graduate Design Program at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Her research is primarily focused on the design of interactive devices, particularly human-robot interaction and autonomous car interfaces. Wendy has played a broad and long-standing role in the Bay Area design research community. She was the founder and editor-in-chief of Ambidextrous Magazine, Stanfords journal of design. She frequently collaborates and consults with local technology companies on interaction technologies, human interaction experiments, and enabling research. Wendy has been instrumental in creating hands-on interaction design curriculum for K-12 students, undergraduate, and graduate programs at Nueva School, Berkeleys College of Environmental Design, Stanfords Electrical Engineering Department, and Stanfords Music Department. Wendy has a Ph.D.from Stanford University in Mechanical Engineering, and a Master’s Degree from the MIT Media Lab.
