About me

🌹 Welcome! This is Wang Xia (夏旺), a Ph.D student in Zhejiang University of Technology. I joined the Data Visualization Group at Zhejiang University of Technology (ZjutVis) in 2019 and under the supervision of Prof. Ronghua Liang and Prof. Guodao Sun . My research interests are interactive machine learning, image/video analysis, and information visualization.
