Hello! I am Liwenhan Xie (Shelly), a PhD candidate from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology advised by Prof. Huamin Qu.
My research lies in information visualization and human-computer interaction, where I view visualization authoring as a form of end-user programming. I conduct empirical studies and develop interactive systems to empower both designers and casual users to create expressive and affective visualizations.
