معرفی
Wanjun Chu is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Linköping University (LiU), specializing in design for sustainability and human-AI interaction. His research bridges sustainable behavior transitions, circular economy, and the implications of Automation, Autonomous systems, and AI (A3) in product/service systems. He holds a PhD in Design for Sustainability, with prior roles including Universitetslektor at LiU's Department of Computer and Information Science (2021–2023) and current work at Scania AB's R&D focusing on autonomous transport solutions.
Education:
- Bachelor of Arts in Interaction Design
- Master of Science in Sustainable Development
- PhD in Design for Sustainability (LiU)
Research Interests: Chu’s work emphasizes sustainable behavior at individual and socio-technical levels, leveraging theories like Activity Theory and Social Practice Theory. Key projects include the AIDA modular robot for sustainability education, Returnable Packaging Services analysis, and frameworks for designing anti-littering interventions. He actively engages in HA3I (Human-AI Interaction) projects.
Teaching: Chu has led courses such as User Driven Product Development and co-created Design for Sustainable Everyday Life. His teaching spans design for sustainability, user-centered design, and interaction design/UX at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
Current Role & Projects: At Scania AB, he designs product-service systems for autonomous transport. His AIDA platform bridges AI techniques with user-centered methods, enabling rapid prototyping of human-AI interactions. He also contributes to pedagogical innovation through LiU’s PUG funds.
Labs & Collaborations: Collaborations include RMIT Australia (sustainable food packaging), UZH Switzerland (S-HCI frameworks), and LEAD incubators (AIDA education projects).
