My research interests are Data Visualization and Human-computer interaction, with a focus on the visual analytics of sports data. Currently, I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Sports Science, Zhejiang University.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Zhejiang University in 2020, where I worked with Prof. Yingcai Wu and the Interactive Data Group. Prior to that, I received my B.S. in Software Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University in 2015.
