Zhao Geng, BSc, MSc (Swansea)

About me

I am currently a PhD student under the supervision of Dr R. S. Laramee. I started my PhD study from the May 2009. I am a member of the research group Visual and Interactive Computing and currently researching in the fields of:

• Information Visualization for Lage, High-Dimensional Data
• Text Visualization
• Data Mining
• Computer Graphics
• Human Computer Interaction

My CV is available here.
