Hello! I am Liwenhan Xie (Shelly), a PhD candidate from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology advised by Prof. Huamin Qu.
My research probes the intersection of information visualization and human-computer interaction, viewing visualization authoring a practice of end-user programming. I conduct both empirical studies and design studies to empower people to create expressive and affective visualizations.
