Bio:

I'm currently an associate professor at College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou, China. I received B.Sc. in computer science and technology (2010), and Ph.D. degree in January, 2016 under the supervision of Ronghua Liang. During my Ph.D study, I studied and worked as a visiting intern at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology under Prof. Huamin Qu's supervision from February 2013 to July 2013, a research intern at Internet Graphics Group, Microsoft Research Asia with Yingcai Wu from July 2013 to January 2015, and a visiting intern at The Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems headed by Thomas Ertl at the University of Stuttgart from July 2015 to December 2015. At present, I'm interested in exploring large data using interactive visual analytics with focus on data such as urban data (vehicles, human movement, environment etc.), social data (social media, social network etc.), video data (associated with computer vision).
