Mixing Realities: Cross-reality Visualization, Interaction, and Collaboration
Workshop at IEEE VR 2023
Schedule
Dr. Hai-Ning Liang is Professor of Computing at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) at the Department of Computing. He is serving as Head of Department. He is also the deputy director of the Suzhou Key Lab for Virtual Reality Technologies and also the XJTLU Virtual Engineering Center.
Dr. Liang completed his PhD in computer science from Western University. His PhD studies were supported by a Postgraduate Research Scholarship by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. He is an award winning academic and researcher. Some of his awards include the 2015 Backbone Scientific and Education Talent, the 2014-2015 XJTLU Outstanding Teacher Prize and the 2012-2013 XJTLU Most Innovative Teaching Practices Prize, Best Paper Award at IEEE VR'20 (nomination).
Dr. Liang's main research interests fall in the broad area of human-computer interaction, with a focus on virtual/augmented, visualization, and gaming technologies.

Dr. Lingyun Yu is an assistant professor in the Department of Computing (CPT) at the Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU).
She obtained her PhD on Scientific Visualization and Interaction Techniques at the University of Groningen in 2013. After that, she worked as a Lecturer and Associate Professor in Hangzhou Dianzi University, from 2014 to 2017. She worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Groningen and the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) from 2016 to 2019.
Her research focuses on interactive scientific visualization, human-computer interaction and visual storytelling methods, in particular, interacting with scientific visualizations using 3D interaction techniques. She is specifically interested in 3D interaction techniques and HCI techniques through which users can fluidly express their intention to data exploration and explanation.
