👋 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 human-AI collaborative data analysis. I've published over 30 peer-reviewed papers in top (CCF-A) computer science venues and served as program committee members for IEEE VIS 2023-2025, ChinaVis 2022-2024, session chairs for IEEE VIS 2023 and PacificVis 2024, as well as reviewers for many journals and conferences.

I'm actively looking for self-motivated PhD and Master students with interests in Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, and/or Large Language Models. If you are passionate about building interactive systems, exploring novel ways to understand data, or bridging AI and human creativity, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out via email with your CV and a brief description of your research interests. Please also read at least one of my papers and mention it in your email so I can better understand your interests.
