I am building a research lab and looking for highly creative and collaborative students. I also have positions for PhD students and research assistants. If you are interested in Data Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, Interface Design and Interaction Techniques, and if you are hardworking, creative and well-motivated for high-quality research, please send an email with your CV and research plan (lingyun.yu@xjtlu.edu.cn). For students who are interested in doing research with me, please take a look at my research interests. Your research interests and experience should be clearly stated in the email.

Our papers on “MeTACAST: Target- and Context-aware Spatial Selection in VR” and “Cluster-Aware Grid Layout” are accepted by IEEE VIS 2023.

Our paper on “AR-Enhanced Workouts: Exploring Visual Cues for At-Home Workout Videos in AR Environment” is accepted by UIST 2023.

We won the First Prize award of Visualization Competition in ChinaVis 2023. Well done!

Our poster on “L-WiM: Collaborative Exploration in Immersive Environments” won Best Poster award of ChinaVis 2023. Congratulations!

We presented our research paper “Visual Harmony: Text-Visual Interplay in Infographics” in ChinaVis 2023.
