Dr. Jun Hu is an Associate Professor in Design Research on Social Computing at the Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He serves as the Scientific Director for the Engineering Doctorate program in Designing Human-System Interaction and is the chair of the working group "Aesthetics and empowerment" of IFIP TC14. Additionally, he holds positions as a Distinguished Adjunct Professor at Jiangnan University and a Guest Professor at Zhejiang University. Dr. Hu earned his Ph.D. degree in Interaction Design and an Engineering Doctorate degree in User-system Interaction, both from TU/e. He also holds a B.Sc degree in Mathematics and an M.Eng degree in Computer Science. He is a System Analyst and a Senior Programmer with qualifications from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. His research focuses on the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Social Computing, and Design Research, with particular interests in data physicalization, empowering systems, and health informatics. Dr. Hu's work explores how technology can be designed to support human needs in social contexts, with applications in health, stress management, and physical activity motivation. His approach often combines aesthetic considerations with functional design to create systems that empower users. Analysis of Dr. Hu's recent publications reveals a strong focus on data physicalization, social aspects of personal informatics, and health applications of interactive systems. His work spans from theoretical frameworks for understanding user interaction with physicalized data to practical applications in stress management for children and motivation for physical activity. There's a clear trend toward integrating AI capabilities into human-centered design approaches while maintaining a focus on user empowerment. Senior Member of ACM Distinguished Adjunct Professor at Jiangnan University Guest Professor at Zhejiang University Editor-in-chief for EAI Endorsed Transactions on Pervasive Health and Technology Associate editor for Behaviour & Information Technology and Entertainment Computing Editor for the International Journal of Arts and Technology Dr. Hu has supervised numerous students through the Engineering Doctorate program and has been involved in various research grants, particularly in the areas of health technology and human-system interaction. He has served in leadership roles including head of the Designed Intelligence group at ID TU/e from 2015-2017 and currently chairs the working group "Aesthetics and empowerment" of IFIP TC14. He coordinates the TU/e DESIS Lab in the DESIS Network and serves on multiple editorial boards. Dr. Hu is actively involved with the Design Of Empowering Systems research group and the EAISI Health initiative at TU/e. His work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, design, and healthcare domains, focusing on creating systems that empower users through thoughtful integration of technology into everyday contexts. He also serves as Chairman of the Foundation for Design Promotion in Europe and China and is a board member of the International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI).
