Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRundong Tian is an HCI researcher and PhD student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley with 12 years of hands-on experience designing interactive systems and physical-digital fabrication. He has driven research projects from modular bio-inspired robots to human-operable robotic grippers and has prototyped "digital companions" for personal fabrication that led to a UIST publication during an internship at Siemens. At Berkeley he has combined mechanical engineering instincts with computational methods across citizen science and digital fabrication research, often building custom hardware and evaluation rigs to validate novel interaction ideas. Currently at Shaper he bridges academic rigor and product-focused prototyping, translating research concepts into usable tools for makers. Colleagues describe him as equally comfortable in a machine shop or a codebase, with a knack for turning complex experimental setups into reproducible systems. For up-to-date details and project artifacts, his personal site rundongtian.com hosts his portfolio and publications.
