Top SchoolKuan-ju Wu is a multidisciplinary technologist and doctoral student in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Tokyo with a decade of experience designing and prototyping interactive systems and tangible interfaces. He blends deep technical skills in system architecture, physical computing, and digital fabrication with a designer’s sensibility honed at Carnegie Mellon (Master in Tangible Interaction Design) and through roles at Tellart, UC Berkeley, and CITRIS. As a freelance creative technologist and former lead technologist and instructor, he builds kinetic sculptures, gesture-driven interfaces, and playful educational robotics while teaching creative programming and electronics. Based in Tokyo and self-described as [artist][coder][traveler], he brings a rare mix of hands-on fabrication, generative visualization, and cross-cultural perspective to experiential technology research. An understated strength is his sustained commitment to education and public-facing innovation labs, translating research prototypes into engaging installations and classroom curricula.
