My name is Rui Zhou. Rui is pronounced similar to “Ray” in English.
I currently work as a user experience (UX) researcher at ByteDance. I got my Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology, majoring in Human-Centered Computing. My specialization is Human-Computer Interaction.
My minor is Science, Technology, and Society (STS). I have Georgia Tech’s graduate certificate in STS.
I am a cautious observer, an ardent reader, a persistent writer, and a sincere researcher.
I constantly work on understanding people better. I love listening to other people’s stories and getting to know their lives, but eventually, I’m most interested in understanding myself and shaping my own life.
I am deeply connected to Taoism. I’m a huge fan of Ursula K Le Guin, Donna Haraway, Haruki Murakami, and Hayao Miyazaki. My favorite book is Wuxu Biji (务虚笔记) and my favorite film of all time is Spirited Away.
