My name is Rui Zhou. Rui is pronounced almost the same as “Ray” in English.
I’m a Ph.D. candidate at Georgia Institute of Technology.
My major is Human-Centered Computing (similar to Human-Computer Interaction).
I also have a minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS).
I see myself as a reader, an observer, a writer, and a researcher.
I constantly work on understanding people better. Yes, I believe it is possible to understand. I love listening to other people’s stories and getting to know their lives, but eventually, I’m most interested in understanding myself and creating my own life.
I am deeply connected to Taoism. I’m a huge fan of Michel Foucault, Donna Haraway, Haruki Murakami, and Hayao Miyazaki. My favorite book is Wuxu Biji (务虚笔记) and my best film is Spirited Away.
I enjoy walking alone in cities like Beijing.
