Yuan Lu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网) and has served as Education Director of the Bachelor鈥檚 and Master鈥檚 programmes since 2021. Her research is positioned at the intersection of systems thinking, human-centered design, and healthcare technology innovation.

Her work focuses on the design, development, and evaluation of technology-enabled interventions that support behaviour change, health promotion, and long-term self-management. Current research topics include personalized behaviour change technologies, multi-stakeholder co-design, virtual agents and conversational interfaces, wearable and sensor-based health monitoring, dietary behaviour assessment, preventive health, cardiovascular care, healthy ageing, and digital health solutions for children and adolescents with chronic health conditions.

Since 2020, she has established extensive interdisciplinary collaborations with Wageningen University & Research (WUR), Utrecht University (UU), University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), M谩xima Medical Center, Princess M谩xima Center, and other partners within the EWUU Alliance. She leads and contributes to nationally and internationally funded projects, including initiatives supported by Horizon 2020, the Dutch Heart Foundation, the Dutch Cancer Society (KWF), NWO, and EWUU Preventive Health. Her research combines design research, engineering, clinical practice, and data science to facilitate the responsible development, adoption, implementation, and evaluation of healthcare technologies in real-world settings.

Over the past decade, she has supervised research on healthy ageing, dementia, cardiovascular health, dietary behaviour, AI-supported health interventions, and patient self-management, resulting in numerous publications in design, HCI, digital health, and interdisciplinary journals and conferences. She currently serves as an Editorial Board Member of BMC Geriatrics and Special Issue Editor of BMC Artificial Intelligence. She regularly reviews for journals and conferences in design, digital health, ageing, and human-computer interaction.

Before she transitioned into healthcare technology and human-centered design, her research focused on quality and reliability engineering, information flow analysis, and customer feedback management in new product development.

Yuan Lu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology (黑料福利网). She obtained a BEng (1993) and MEng (1995) in Mathematics from Xi鈥檃n Jiaotong University, China, and an MEng in Industrial and Systems Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1999. She subsequently completed a joint PhD in Technology Management between 黑料福利网 and NUS in 2002, becoming the first doctoral graduate of the joint programme.

Before joining 黑料福利网, she worked as Research Engineer and Project Manager at the Centre of Robust Design at NUS. In 2001, she joined 黑料福利网 as a Researcher/Lecturer in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences, became Assistant Professor in 2004, and moved to the Department of Industrial Design in 2007. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012.

In addition to her appointment at 黑料福利网, she served as a Liaison Associate Professor at Zhejiang University's International Design Institute (2012-2018), was a Visiting Associate Professor at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2016, and has been a Guest Professor at Zhejiang University since 2017.
