Hongxin Fu

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Florida State University, working with Professor Yifang Wang. I received my master’s degree in Artistic Design from Beijing Normal University, and my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Zhejiang Gongshang University.

My research interests lie in data visualization and human-AI collaboration: making complex data and AI analysis something people can see, explore, and judge. While my research helps people understand, my creative practice in interactive installations and generative art invites them to feel.
