Hi! I am Jianing Yin (殷佳宁 in Chinese), a second-year Ph.D. candidate at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University. As a member of ZJUIDG, I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Yingcai Wu and Dr. Tan Tang.
My research focuses on data visualization and human-computer interaction within the domain of social media. I am interested in utilizing visual metaphors to represent diverse phenomena and patterns in social media. I am also interested in conducting HCI research to explore the relationships between humans and social media platforms.
