About
Ph.D. from the VisLab at HKUST, supervise by Professor Huamin Qu and co-supervise by Professor Pan Hui. My academic foundation was further enriched by my time as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Chicago’s Knowledge Lab, collaborating with Prof. James Evans.
My research sits at the intersection of Visual Analytics and Human-Centered AI (HCAI). Driven by the principle of the "human–AI loop," I investigate how intent capture and collaborative feedback can empower creators and enhance human agency. My work is currently focused on two primary pillars:
- Immersive HCI for Skill Training: Leveraging interactive environments to facilitate expert learning and skill acquisition.
- Human–AI Collaboration: Designing multi-agent co-creation systems that foster seamless partnership between humans and generative intelligence.
Ultimately, my goal is to shape AI systems that make complex information intuitive and create innovative pathways for responsible artistic expression.
