Welcome!
Hi, I'm Huyen! I'm a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working with Professor Nils Gehlenborg in the HIDIVE Lab of the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. My work focuses on developing visualization systems for efficient exploration and interaction with biomedical data, including building representations for genomics visualization retrieval and benchmarking with large vision-language models (LVLMs).
I received my PhD in Computer Science from Texas Tech University, with my doctoral studies focusing on interactive time-series visualizations. I led the development of WordStream visualization for topic evolution as an interactive tool, a JavaScript library, and a no-code platform.
I love teaching and taught Data Structures Lab sessions for undergrad students at Texas Tech from 2021 to 2023. I am looking forward to the day when I get to teach Data Visualization!
My first name, Huyền, is pronounced as /Hoo-ee-en/. Here's how it sounds:
