About
Hi, I’m Jinrui Wang (王金睿). I’m a third year PhD student supervised by Dr. Uta Hinrichs and Dr. Benjamin Bach at Visual+Interactive Lab, Design Informatics, The University of Edinburgh.
Before that, I completed my MSc in Design Informatics (with distinction) at the University of Edinburgh (2022) and BEcon at University of International Business and Economics in Beijing (2020).
Research Interest 👩🏻💻
My PhD focuses on visualization atlases, an emerging form of viusalization collection that communicate complex topics to wide audiences. I investigate the complexity of visualization atlases concepts and support the design process of future atlases informed by practical design projects.
- The UK Co-Benefits Atlas, in collaboration with Edinburgh Climate Change Insitute.
- Visualizing peace transistion data with PeaceRep, Edinburgh Law School.
