Rundong ‘Kevin’ Tian is a human-computer interaction researcher at Shaper Tools, where he is currently designing
woodworking tools that empower craftspeople. Previously, he received his PhD in computer science from the
University of California, Berkeley. In his dissertation research, he explored new workflows and interactions for
digital fabrication tools by building and evaluating interactive systems. Thematically, his work considers how
technology might engage and extend human capabilities, illuminate tacit knowledge, support creative practices,
and understand user workflows.
