About Me

Hi I am Rui Zhao (renyuneyun).

I’m currently a Postdoc at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. I work for the EWADA (Ethical Web And Data Architecture) project, at the Human-Centred Computing group, with Sir Nigel Shadbolt and Sir Tim Berners-Lee. See the Research page for more details.

Generally, I’m interested in everything that strengthens people’s ability and cooperation, especially those enhancing people’s understanding and control, and those that are resilient.
I consider non-centralized services a good way of de-powering the capital for short-term profit while en-powering long-term productivity.
For the same reason, I consider free software not only a terminology, but the ideology and methodology.

Archlinux is my main distro. I do some FLOSS development in spare time (see Coding).
