Ellen Yi-Luen Do (Professor, ATLAS Institute & Computer Science) invents at the intersections of people, design, and technology. She works on computational tools for design, especially sketching, creativity, and design cognition, including creativity support tools and design studies, tangible and embedded interaction and, most recently, computing for health and wellness.

She holds a Ph.D. in Design Computing from Georgia Institute of Technology, a Master of Design Studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a bachelor's degree from National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan. She has served on the faculties of the University of Washington, Carnegie Mellon University, and Georgia Institute of Technology. From 2013 to 2016, she co-directed the Keio-NUS CUTE Center in Singapore, a research unit investigating Connected Ubiquitous Technology for Embodiments. Ellen has published over 170 papers and raised over $11M in research funding. She was Design Community Chair for ACM CHI (2012 and 2013), and currently serves on the Steering Committees for ACM Conference series of TEI (Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction, since 2011) and C&C (Creativity & Cognition, since 2017), ISWC (International Symposium on Wearable Computers, since 2018), and AH (Augmented Human, since 2015), and on the editorial board for AIEDAM (Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing), Springer Series on Cultural Computing, and AUSMT. She enjoys playing the Djembe and performs at festivals and other venues with the Sensua Players.
