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.

My research takes a human-centered approach to designing technologies that enhance and extend human capabilities. Grounded in principles of human-computer interaction, my work focuses on design and evaluation of technologies that empower individuals and support problem-solving within broader social, cultural, and ethical contexts.

My current research includes developing an AI tool to support art education, integrating generative AI into design education, and exploring the use of Generative AI to support mental health.

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