π Hi, I am Gefei Zhang!
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Zhejiang University of Technology and a visiting scholar at Texas A&M University. My academic journey includes being a core member of the Data Visualization Group (ZjutVis) since 2020, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Ronghua Liang and Prof. Guodao Sun. At Texas A&M University, I am privileged to be part of the Dream Lab, working with Prof. Xia.
My research lies at the intersection of Visual Analytics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Education Technology. Specifically, I focus on:
- Visual Analytics: Developing interactive approaches for large-scale data analysis
- Education Technology: Exploring the application of visual analytics in educational contexts
The overarching goal of my research is to bridge the gap between complex data analysis and intuitive understanding through innovative visualization approaches.
π If you are interested in my research, please feel free to contact me via gefei [at] zjut.edu.cn.
More information will be update soon~
