About Me

Jiaru Fu


I am a software engineer at Microsoft, specializing in full-stack development and front-end user experiences. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in Computer Science and Statistics (GPA: 3.8/4.0). My research interests lie in human-computer interaction (HCI), particularly in areas like technology accessibility, AI and interface design and implementation. I'm passionate about exploring design processes across different technologies and platforms, understanding human perceptions and cognition, and envisioning how people will interact with future technological environments.
