Hello! I’m Zhan Wang (Zoey), a fourth-year PhD candidate from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) co-advised by Prof. Wei Zeng and Prof. Fugee Tsung. I received B.S. in Data Science and Big Data Technology in Fudan University.
My research explores the intersection of information visualization, virtual reality, and human-computer interaction. Now I am interested in designing AI-assisted interaction for information communication and presentation in immersive environments.
I have been working in FDU-VIS and Microsoft Research Asia.
