👋🏻 Hi, I am Lu Ying
(应璐)I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, where I was advised by Prof. Yingcai Wu and was a member of ZJUIDG. And I was a visiting student at Université Paris-Saclay and a member of the AVIZ team at Inria, supervised by Jean-Daniel Fekete.
My research lies at the intersection of human–AI interaction, visualization, and machine learning, where I design human-centered AI systems that empower people in sensemaking and decision-making. Collaborating with experts in areas like climate change and social media, I pursue interdisciplinary solutions that respond to complex and impactful real-world challenges.
📰 News
🎓 I successfully defended my PhD on AI-Driven Generation of Infographics !
Our paper on Constructive Scientific Methodology to Improve Climate Figures from IPCC is available on arXiv!
Started my visiting scholar journey at Aviz, Inria, Université Paris-Saclay!
I served as a student volunteer for IEEE VIS 2024. See you in Tampa (Updated: Virtual). I'll also present our TVCG paper Reviving Static Charts into Live Charts. Excited to share that I designed the VIS 2024 SV T-shirt! Looking forward to seeing you at VIS!
Our paper VAID: Indexing View Designs in Visual Analytics System was accepted to CHI 2024! See you in Hawaii! 🌺
