Junran Yang
Hi! I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington, where I work with Leilani Battle in the Interactive Data Lab and the UW Database Group.
I’m interested in the field of databases, visualization and HCI, with a focus on developing and optimizing interactive data systems for data exploration and analysis.
Previously, I worked at the Adobe Research and Sigma Computing Inc. as a reasearch intern. Prior to that, I graduated from Combined Bachelor’s/Master’s program in Computer Science at Univeristy of Maryland.
