Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexa Siu is a research scientist based in the Bay Area with 11 years of experience at the intersection of human-computer interaction, accessibility, and haptic interface design. Currently at Adobe after a PhD at Stanford, she develops human-centered tooling and multimodal workflows that enable people who are blind to design 3D models and explore data visualizations. Her work blends iterative prototyping, controlled perception studies, mechatronics, and dynamics to translate tactile and audio sensing into practical, usable interfaces. Alexa’s background spans academic research, industry internships at Microsoft and HP, and teaching design for accessibility, reflecting a rare mix of rigorous experimentation and applied product-focused development. She is especially interested in how novel brake-based and auxetic hardware mechanisms can make spatial information tangible for nonvisual users.
