I am Linping YUAN (袁林萍), a Ph.D. candidate at HKUST VisLab, at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) in 2019.

My research interests include Augmented Reality (AR), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Data Visualizations.

In the first two years of my Ph.D. journey, I focused on how to leverage deep learning methods to facilitate the design of data visualizations and infographics, with an emphasis on color design. I have published two first-author papers on this topic in a top journal.

Aiming to explore more unknowns and challenge myself, I shifted my interests to AR/VR and have been exploring the intersection of AR/VR, HCI, and visualization since 2020 summer. Currently, I am a core member of VisLab AR/VR Team. My ongoing research projects aim to build an AR/VR-enhanced campus and enrich HKUST members’ living experience with AR/VR techniques and applications.
