I am an Assistant Professor of Visual Communication Design at the University of Oklahoma, where I lead the OU Research for Human-Computer Interaction Design (OURCHID) Lab and serve as a Faculty Advisor for OU UX Design Club.

My research sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction and health. I design and evaluate human-centered systems that support health behavior change, personalized interventions, and decision-making. Current projects include an AI-mediated mental health disclosure system that helps youth communicate mental health concerns with care providers and a breastfeeding support navigator system that helps postpartum parents identify concerns and access appropriate support.

Before joining OU, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at College of Information Sciences & Technology at PennState. I earned my Ph.D. in from the Department of Health Technology at Technical University of Denmark, where my research focused on design and evaluation of systems to support mental health and cardiovascular care.

I enjoy collaborating with researchers from diverse disciplines with shared interests. Feel free to reach out at raju@ou.edu.
