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.

Previously, 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 designing conversational AI to support self-report of for mental health and wellbeing.

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