Researching in 📊 data visualization, 🖊 visual storytelling, 🖥️ user experience, 🤖 AI for social good.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my site! I'm currently an assistant professor affiliated with School of Journalism at Fudan University, Shanghai, China. I'm also the co-advisor of Intelligent Big Data Visualization Lab (iDVX Lab) and FDU-VIS. I do interdisciplinary research in communication, computer science, and design, and seek to explore how data is encoded, disseminated, and consumed in the era of digitalization and artificial intelligence.

I received my PhD in Design at iDVX Lab, College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, supervised by Prof. Nan Cao. I received my Master’s degree in Journalism and Communication and a minor in Finance from Peking University HSBC Business School. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the Department of Sociology at Peking University and a double degree in Chinese Language and Literature from the Department of Chinese.

I am a writer / designer / developer in my spare time. I won prizes in competitions such as the National Data Journalism Competition, China DataViz Competition, PacificVis Storytelling Contest, China Digital Humanities Open Data Contest, and Huawei Data Analyst Competition.
