Hello! I am Yuheng Zhao (่ตตๅฎ‡ๆ’). I am currently a postdoc working in the Computational Behavior Lab with Prof. Dr. Antti Oulasvirta under the ELLIS program. I received my Ph.D. in Statistics from the School of Data Science at Fudan University, supervised by Prof. Siming Chen in FDUVIS Lab. I also completed a research internship advised by Dr. Yu Zhang.

My research focuses on LLM-driven intelligent visual analytics and human-AI collaboration. I combine methods from visualization, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction to build intelligent interfaces that help people understand complex data and coordinate with AI agents.
