Hi, I am a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. David Ebert at Purdue University. I work as a research assistant at Purdue/DHS Visual Analytics Center of Excellence. Previous, I received a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Wei Chen in the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG. During my undergrad study, I focused on large-scale graph visualization and meteorological data visualization. I was a summer research intern at NCSU in 2012, working with Prof. Ben Watson on large-screen text visualization.
My research interests lie in the general areas of visual analytics, information visualization and computer-human interaction. Please check out Projects and Publications for more information.
My previous & current research includes:
Visual Analytics:
- Spatiotemporal data (e.g., multi-scale clustering, anomaly detection)
- Streaming data and situational awareness (e.g., real-time social media, dynamic networks)
- Text and document data (e.g., topic modeling, word embedding)
InfoVis and CHI:
- Geospatial visualization (multi-scale navigation and interaction, context preservation)
- Text visualization
- User-centric visualization design and evaluation
