Hongxin (April) Fu
I am currently a final-year MFA student in Artistic Design at the School of Future Design, Beijing Normal University. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate studies in Software Engineering at Zhejiang Gongshang University.
My research interests lie in data visualization, with a particular focus on visual analytics and its applications. I’m passionate about how visual analytics can support research across both the humanities and sciences by creating intuitive and extensible exploratory tools that help users gain insights from large-scale data. In addition to analytical applications, I have also explored artistic expressions of data visualization.
PhD Application
I am currently a visiting student at HKUST(GZ) and actively seeking a fully funded PhD position for Fall 2026. Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in collaboration or have opportunities available.
