    Welcome! I'm Zheng Wei, a PhD student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I am fortunate to work under the guidance of Professor Huamin Qu in the "VisLab" group, which is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of visual analytics research.

     

    My primary research areas include data visualization, HCI, and social computing. I adopt a human-centered and interdisciplinary approach to developing innovative VR systems that enhance the integration of art and technology, driving deeper connections between artistic creation and technological innovation.

     

    Before pursuing my PhD, I completed my MPhil in Computational Media and Arts at HKUST (GZ) in June 2024 under the supervision of Professor Pan Hui. In 2017, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Cinematography and Film Production from the Beijing Film Academy.
