Biography
Ryo Suzuki (http://ryosuzuki.org/) is an Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary. His research interest lies at the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and robotics, specifically focusing on the design and development of novel tangible user interfaces with the interactive swarm and soft robots. During his PhD, he has published more than 15 peer-reviewed conference papers at top HCI/Robotics venues, such as CHI, UIST, IROS, DIS, and ASSETS, and received one best paper and one honorable mention paper. Previously he also worked as research interns at Stanford University, UC Berkeley, the University of Tokyo, and Adobe Research.
