Hi! My name is Jiaju Ma. I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science department at Stanford University, advised by Maneesh Agrawala. My research interests lie in building creativity support tools that assist users throughout the design process. My work is supported by the Brown Institute for Media Innovation, the HAI-HPI Program on AI and HCI, and the Stanford Graduate Fellowship.

I interned at Google DeepMind in 2024, mentored by Peggy Chi as well as Irfan Essa. I was also a two-time research intern at Adobe Research and worked closely with Li-Yi Wei and Rubaiat Habib Kazi.

Previously, I graduated from the Brown | RISD Dual Degree program with a B.S. in Computer Science, advised by Jeff Huang, and a B.F.A. in Industrial Design, advised by Leslie Fontana. I have been a product design intern at Facebook AI, LinkedIn, Deeplearning.ai, and Learnable.ai.
