I'm now a Research Scientist in Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (Fraunhofer IAIS), working with Dr. Gennady Andrienko and Dr. Nathaliyia Andrienko in Germany. I'm also a Postdoctoral Researcher in University of Bonn, working with Prof. Stefan Wrobel. I received my Ph.D. on Computer Science at EECS, Peking University under my supervisor Prof. Xiaoru Yuan. My research interests are in general visualization and visual analytics techniques. My special focuses are spatial temporal visualization, social network visual analytics and security visual analytics. I like computers, travelling and poems. I believe information can be spread widely through visual communication.
