About Me
My name is Yanhong Wu (武延宏), currently a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. I got my Ph.D. degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. I got my bachelor degree at Software School, Fudan University in June 2013. During my college study, I was a research assistant at Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, advised by Prof. Haibo Chen.
My research interest includes Information Visualization, Graph Visualization and Social Network Analysis.
I love Computer Science and I usually study interesting topics like Functional Programming, Machine Learning and Synchronization Primitives as my hobbies. In my spare time, I like playing guitar for fun. I am also a faithful fan of Real Madrid.
