Hi, I’m Lin Gao (Lynne, 高琳), an incoming Ph.D. student at University of Waterloo, advised by Prof. Jian Zhao. I received my master’s degree from the School of Data Science at Fudan University, where I was a member of the FDUVIS Lab and worked under the supervision of Prof. Siming Chen.

My research interests lie in Data Visualization, Human-AI Interaction and Human-Data Communication. Specifically, I aim to advance intelligent education and data-driven storytelling through visualization and interaction techniques. I’m exploring research related to human-AI collaboration with large language models.
