Jacob Ritchie

A smiling photo of Jacob Ritchie.

I am a Ph.D. Student in Computer Science at Stanford University. I work on Human-Computer Interaction with Prof. James Landay and Prof. Maneesh Agrawala.

My current research projects focus on computational tools for audio augmented reality storytelling, education and information visualization.

Previously, I recived my M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, supervised by Daniel Wigdor and Fanny Chevalier of the Dynamic Graphics Project.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Engineering Science, with a minor in Robotics, also at U of T. I have experience as a software engineer in industry, having worked for a year at the Intel Programmable Solutions Group.
