Hi, I'm Shaolun Ruan

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate of Computer Science at Singapore Management University, under the supervision of Professor Yong WANG and Professor Jiannan LI. Before that, I received my bachelor degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China at School of Computer Science and Engineering in 2019. I became a research scholar at Monash University under the supervision of Tim Dwyer in 2025.

My research interests include Data Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction. My work focuses on developing human-centered computing tools to address complex scientific problems, facilitating the process of explainability and data-driven decision-making.
