About

I am a postdoctoral fellow working with Prof. Matthew Kay, affiliated to Northwestern University, and funded by CCC/CRA's CIFellows program. In MU Collective Lab, I am working on visualizations of probabilistic forecasts in real-world scenarios.

Besides, I am broadly interested in topics related to users, models, and visualizations: predictive and inferential analyses, model explanations, visual communication, decision-making, user profiling, adaptive and automatic design, perception and cognition, virtual and augumented reality, etc.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University with the advisement of Prof. David Laidlaw. Before that, I received my M.Sc. degree from Tufts University with the advisement of Prof. Remco Chang, and I earned my B.Eng. degree from Shandong University, China.
