Tracy Tran

Hi there,
I'm Tracy.

Program Manager // Maker // Computer Scientist



I'm interested in HCI as it applies to accessibility, education, environment and sustainability, and social justice. I'm also interested in the intersection of art and technology as a method of storytelling.

As a Microsoft Research program manager, I partner with research teams to deploy their innovations to the real world. Formerly I worked in Office, building modern input features that reimagine how people work with touch, pen, and voice, such as Transcribe in Word .

As a researcher, I fabricated tactile interfaces for mobile accessibility and simulated the corrosion of nuclear waste canisters.

As a maker, I created a whimsical vending machine that trains AI systems and a maternity shirt that responds to inappropriate touching.
