Bruce Tsuji, PhD Psychology Professor Carleton University
	Bruce completed his PhD at Carleton’s Human Oriented Technology Lab in 2011 with Gitte Lindgaard.  His BSc was at Trent in 1977 and his MA at Waterloo in 1979.  In between, he spent approximately three decades developing human-computer interaction (HCI) and business skills in a variety of big, medium, and small start-up technology businesses.  Bruce is currently teaching undergraduate psychology and graduate HCI courses at Carleton.
On teaching about the intersection between psychology and everyday life…“I really think this is the absolutely perfect role for me. I’m in love with psychology and all of its various manifestations. In particular I believe what is absolutely critical is that we take research and apply it. That we take what we know from all the really good, decent research that’s being done and figure out what it means in terms of real life. I think I’m good at finding that link between the basic research and how to apply it. Because, especially for undergrads, who are taking all kinds of courses, it’s sort of hard to understand where things fit, how these courses relate anything. So I like to think that pretty much through all my first year courses certainly, they’re constantly getting an explanation about ‘what does that mean for something that I encounter in my life daily?’ And I think that’s important.”
