About me

Hi, welcome to my corner of the Internet!

I'm an MPhil student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). With an interdisciplinary background in Computational Arts (MPhil, HKUST(GZ)) and Engineering (B.Eng, UESTC), my work involves Vision, Visualization, and Visual design. I am committed to exploring visual representation to explain complex ideas and empower humans with the accessible tools for effective visual communication.

I am actively seeking for PhD position of 24Fall!

Research Interest

Revolving around "visual", my research interest lies in Vision, Visualization, and Visual design.

Research goal

With computer vision as design material and user intent as design consideration, I aim to support various stages of visualization/graphic design pipeline, including retrieval, generation, and application. Specifically, my research goals includes:

  • •
    E
    xploring novel designs to represent complex ideas.
  • •
    E
    nhancing user intent-aware workflow to facilitate the design process.
  • •
    E
    mpowering lay users and experts with authoring tools and grammar to achieve visual communication.

    • Upcoming Work

    Here are some logo designs from my upcoming work.
