Senior🎓
Top SchoolAhmed Abuzuraiq is an AI x HCI researcher and developer who blends eight years of applied experience across games, architecture, and visual arts to build generative tools that augment creative practice. He has authored 20+ peer-reviewed publications and rapid-prototyped 30+ systems, combining rigorous user-centered studies with practical full-stack and creative-coding development. His work spans diffusion models, GANs, evolutionary and multi-objective search, and LLM-driven agentic workflows, informing interfaces like DPredict, Diffusion Bending, and FlowUI. Notable industry collaborations include design-performance tools for Perkins&Will and Stantec, where he translated parametric design and surrogate ML models into usable decision aids. A PhD candidate in HCI at SFU, Ahmed pairs analytical data work (quantitative analysis, reflexive thematic coding) with speculative design methods such as design fiction. He is a self-driven interdisciplinary collaborator who thrives on turning research insights into interactive prototypes and compelling design artifacts.
