About Me
I am a CS PhD student in School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech, advised by Professor Alex Endert and Jessica Roberts. I received my B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Ohio State. Before beginning my PhD studies, I was a software development engineer in Amazon Detroit.
My research interests are information visualization and human–computer interaction. I am particularly interested in designing interactive visualization systems that help users explore complex data, identify patterns, and make informed decisions. More broadly, I aim to create user-centered tools that improve the accessibility and effectiveness of data-driven analysis.
