Summary
Zhuoyue Lyu is a PhD candidate in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Cambridge, funded by Trinity-Henry Barlow and the Cambridge Trust, who designs and engineers spatial interaction experiences across AR/VR/MR. With a multidisciplinary background—an EdTech master’s from Harvard, HCI coursework at MIT, visiting research at Stanford HAI, and a CS (AI) honours degree from U of Toronto—she blends rigorous research with practical prototyping and teaching experience. Her decade-long trajectory spans industry software engineering at IBM, lab research at MIT Media Lab and DGP, and instructional roles at Penn and Toronto, reflecting an ability to translate theory into usable systems and curricula. She also pursues creative outlets as a podcaster and artist, which informs her research interest in deepening human connections to the physical and digital worlds.
