👋 Hi, I'm Di Weng (
), a tenure-track assistant professor (ZJU 100 Young Professor) at School of Software Technology, Zhejiang University. I'm also a faculty member of Interactive Data Group led by Prof. Yingcai Wu at State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University. My research interest lies in information visualization and visual analytics, focusing on interactive data transformation and spatiotemporal data visual analysis. I've published over 20 peer-reviewed papers in top (CCF-A) computer science venues and served as program committee members for IEEE VIS 2023-2024, ChinaVis 2022-2024, session chairs for IEEE VIS 2023 and IEEE PacificVis 2024, as well as reviewers for many journals and conferences.
