Songwen Hu

I’m a thrid-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 visualization animation and interaction, collaborative visualization systems, and visualization recommender systems. I explore how design choices impact perception in animated and interactive 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 general recommender systems, deep learning, gesture recognition and reinforcement learning.
