Hi, I’m Yanna Lin
I am now a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu in the VisLab. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from HKUST, where I was awarded the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme and received HKUST RedBird Academic Excellence Award for 3 consecutive years. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, ranked 1/447. During my undergraduate studies, I was honored with the National Scholarship for three consecutive years, awarded to the top 0.5% of students.
My research interests include data visualisation and human-AI collaboration. I focus on designing intuitive interfaces and developing algorithms to enhance data communication and analysis, and facilitate data-driven decision-making.
I am on the job market now. Please contact me if you have any relevant positions or opportunities:)
