Songwen Hu

I’m a first-year CS Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Cindy Xiong Bearfield. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I worked with Dr. Shuai Li at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My research interest focuses on animated visualization, collaborative visualization systems, and visualization recommender systems. I explore how design choices impact perception in animated visualization, how AI assistants can enhance data collaboration with visualization systems, and how to recommend visualizations with minimal user interaction.

I also have experience with traditional recommender systems, deep learning and reinforcement learning.
