Hi, I'm Shaolun Ruan
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate of Computer Science at Singapore Management
University, under the supervision of Professor Yong WANG and
Professor Jiannan LI.
Before that, I received my bachelor degree from University of
Electronic Science and Technology of China at School of Computer
Science and Engineering in 2019.
I will become a research scholar at Monash University under the supervision of Tim Dwyer in 2025.
My research interests include Data Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction.
My work focuses on developing human-centered computing tools to address complex scientific problems, facilitating the process of explainability and data-driven decision-making.
