Hi, I am Tingying He

I am a 3rd-year and final-year Ph.D. student at Université Paris-Saclay and a member of the AVIZ team at Inria. I am supervised by Tobias Isenberg and collaborate closely with Petra Isenberg. Before starting my Ph.D. in October 2021, I earned a double master’s degree in HCI from both Université Paris-Saclay in France and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. In addition, I hold 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. Currently, I am exploring how to optimize the use of black-and-white textures for visualizations. In addition, I have studied the aesthetic judgment of visualizations.

I am seeking a postdoc position starting in October 2024.
