Hi, I am Tingying He
I am a research scientist (postdoctoral researcher) in the Visualization Design Lab at the University of Utah, working with Alexander Lex. I received my PhD at Université Paris-Saclay, where I worked in the AVIZ team at Inria, advised by Tobias Isenberg. I earned a double master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from both Université Paris-Saclay in France and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, and a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Tongji University, China.
I have a broad interest in topics related to information visualization, particularly in visual encodings, perception and cognition, and evaluation methods.
