About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, and a member of the Interactive Data Group (ZJUIDG), supervised by Prof. Dazhen Deng and Prof. Yingcai Wu. My research focuses on AI-assisted visual analytics, with a particular interest in using large language models (LLMs) to support data understanding and visualization generation.
