Hello! I am Liwenhan Xie (Shelly). I obtained my Ph.D. from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Huamin Qu.
With a background in information visualization and human-computer interaction, I study the design of interactive systems that prioritize human agency in creative tasks, focusing on its nuanced, exploratory, and unquantifiable aspect. My recent work explores co-creating expressive visualizations with foundation models.
