About
Junli Lu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, robotics, and bio-inspired design, best known for their groundbreaking work on living interfaces. Their most notable contribution, the "Calmbots" project, reimagines Madagascar cockroaches as living ubiquitous interfaces—a provocative fusion of biology and technology that challenges traditional notions of user interaction. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 3 citations, reflecting its early but significant impact in the emerging field of bio-hybrid systems. Lu’s research pushes the boundaries of how we think about interfaces, exploring how living organisms can be harnessed for interactive, adaptive, and sustainable technologies. By integrating principles from entomology, robotics, and ubiquitous computing, they have opened new avenues for studying non-traditional input/output modalities. Their work is particularly notable for its bold, interdisciplinary approach, sparking conversations about ethics, agency, and the future of human-machine relationships. As a rising voice in HCI, Lu’s research invites students and scholars to reconsider the very definition of an interface, making them a compelling figure for anyone interested in the frontiers of interactive technology.
