I am an Associate Professor at School of Data Science, Fudan University. I was a Research Scientist in Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (Fraunhofer IAIS), working with Dr. Gennady Andrienko and Dr. Nathaliyia Andrienko in Germany. I was also a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Bonn, working with Prof. Stefan Wrobel. I received my Ph.D. on Computer Science at EECS, Peking University under my supervisor Prof. Xiaoru Yuan. My research interests are in general visualization and visual analytics techniques as well as human-centered artificial intelligence. My special focuses are spatial temporal visualization, social network visual analytics, security visual analytics and storytelling techniques. I like computers, travelling and poems. I believe information can be spread widely through visual communication.

[News] Our research group focusing on visual analytics and human-centered machine learning in Fudan University is newly built. Undergraduate students, prospective graduate students and Post-docs, who want to do research with me, are welcome to drop me an email.
