I am an Assistant Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. I received my Ph.D. degree from University Paris-Saclay, supervised by Dr. Petra Isenberg and Prof. Anastasia Bezerianos. My Ph.D. dissertation on "Situated Visualization in Motion" received the PhD Thesis Prize from AFIHM. Previously, I was a postdoctoral and doctoral researcher at INRIA, AVIZ team, and a visiting researcher at University of Calgary, hosted by Dr. Wesley Willett. My research focuses on exploring the impact of motion characteristics and spatial factors on the perception, design, and user experience of visual representations.

I am looking for highly motivated PhD students and research assistants. For anyone who is interested in visualization, AI, and HCI, and want to conduct their PhD/Master with me, please fill in the Google Form. For PhD and Master, degrees will be adwarded by the University of Liverpool. Scholarship is possible.
