Lulu Zhao — Human–AI Interaction Researcher
i’m Lulu Zhao (赵璐璐), a CS PhD student at Cornell. exploring new forms and roles for embodied AI and how they shape human–AI relationships in everyday life.
working at the intersection of human–AI interaction, design, and embodied intelligence. thinking about AI as a material for design; making intelligence tangible.
occasionally writes log entries. collects light in photographs. code lives in git repositories, papers in publications. a winding path from poetry and PPE to robotics — more about me.
