About

Jiayi Zhou is a Ph.D. Student at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Huamin Qu in the HKUST VisLab, and co-advised by Prof. Anyi Rao in the Multimedia Creativity Lab. Before that, she received her Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng) degree in industrial design, graduating with honors as an Outstanding Graduate from Zhejiang University in 2024.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of Data Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction. She is curious about how creators "connect the dots" in storytelling amidst the explosion of information. She investigates how advanced Artificial Intelligence, including GenAI and computer vision models, can empower the visual storytelling process.

In daily life, Jiayi seeks moments of "connection" with nature, her beloved cat, her body, and like-minded individuals. She aspires to be a dedicated rower, an imaginative designer, and a perceptive photographer.
