About Me
I’m an Assistant Professor in the Division of Emerging Interdisciplinary Areas at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Prior that, I spent two years at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, as an assistant professor. I recevied my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Notre Dame under the supervison of Prof. Chaoli Wang. I received my master’s degree in Computer Software and Theory and my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. Both are from Xidian University.
Research
My research lies at the intersection of scientific visualization, human-computer interaction, and machine learning. Scientific simulations generate vast amounts of volumetric data essential for understanding various natural phenomena. My works seek to address the following key challenges:
- How can we develop algorithms to efficiently and effectively manage large-scale simulation data? Representative papers include KD-INR and CoordNet.
- How can we design generative models to rapidly produce scientific data? Representative papers include V2V and STNet.
- How can we build intelligent, interactive systems that empower domain scientists to explore and visualize volumetric data for better decision-making and deeper insights? Representative papers include FlowNet and DTBIA.
The goal of my research is to answer these questions.
