I am Leni Yang(杨乐妮), a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof.Qu Huamin. Before that, I obtained my PhD degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Sep, 2022. My research interest lies in Data Visualization. My mission is to increase the accessibility of data visualizations to the general public. My research attempts to lower the barrier to understanding data visualization and to improve the effectiveness of data storytelling.
