Li Wei
Lecturer

Research Areas: Visualization and Visual Analytics, Human-Computer Interaction, Behavior Analysis, Mobile Ecology

Ph.D. in Industrial Design from Eindhoven University of Technology , the Netherlands. Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the China Society of Image and Graphics (CSIG), and the China Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI).

Recipient of the 2015 National Scholarship for Study Abroad (Category A1) from the China Scholarship Council to pursue doctoral studies in the Netherlands. During the Ph.D. program, he participated in the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate in Interactive and Cognitive Environments, an EU program, and the 4TU Interdisciplinary Alliance project.

His recent research focuses on design and research related to big data analysis and visualization, with specific innovations and applications in areas such as medical data, game analysis, and mobile ecology. Explores the possibilities of merging science and art from the perspectives of data analysis, human-computer interaction, and simulation algorithms.
