Miranda Li

I'm a second-year Master's student at the MIT Media Lab, in the Personal Robots Group. I also work closely with Andreea Bobu, Arvind Satyanarayan, and Crystal Lee. I study the design of intelligent, robotic tools that augment people in creative and otherwise open-ended tasks. I conduct ethnographic research with experienced artists to understand how they relate to and through their tools. Those qualitative findings inform my technical work: learning and evaluating aligned representations for human-machine co-adaptation, and designing and fabricating creative tools.

Before MIT, I studied Computer Science (B.S. / M.S.) at Stanford University, where I was lucky to work with Chris Piech and teach CS through CS198 and Code in Place.

Also, my art practice is very important to me.
