Dongyu Liu (刘冬煜）
Postdoctoral Associate at MIT
I am a postdoc at MIT in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am hosted by Dr. Kalyan Veeramachaneni in the Data To AI group within the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.My research interest lies in the intersection between Visualization, Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction, and Big Data. I develop advanced interactive visualization systems and machine learning algorithms to promote the understanding and communications between humans, machines, and large-scale data. Specifically, I am working on (1) visual analytics of societal applications by formulating "human-in-the-loop" decision-making workflow, and (2) human-centered and explainable AI in high-stakes decision making (health, child welfare).
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST in 2019, where I worked with Prof. Huamin Qu as a member of VisLab and WHATLab. I have been awarded the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University under the Chu Kochen Honors Program in 2014.
I have collaborated with designers, developers, and scientists while working at
Microsoft Research,
Robert Bosch LLC, and
Tencent.
I have delivered several online software demos/videos as shown in the below.
