I am currently a Ph.D. student of Computer Engineering at the Visual Analytics and Intelligence Group of ZJU (ZJUVAI), under the supervision of Prof. Wei Chen. I also worked with XLang Lab at the University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Tao Yu. Before that, I received my B.E. degree in Software Engineering from Zhejiang University.

My research interests broadly lie in the intersection of visual analytics, human-computer interaction, and natural language processing. I design and implement novel visualization systems that enable users to interact with data and machines more efficiently. Recently, I am specifically interested in AI-assisted data analysis, focusing on leveraging advanced AI techniques (especially LLMs/VLMs) to augment data science and data engineering workflows.

Besides, I am passionate about photography and traveling.
