Pan Hao

Hi! I'm Pan Hao, and I go by 潘 昊 in Chinese. I'm a 2nd year Computer Science Ph.D. student at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, working with Qianwen Wang as a member of the Visual Intelligence Lab.

My research centers around Human–AI Collaboration by designing and developing novel interactive visualizations and interfaces that make people intuitively engage with Generative AI and LLM Agents (computer-user, GUI-based) that deliver adaptive and just-in-time guidance in professional scenarios, including visual analytics and design authoring.

I received my B.Eng degree at Wuhan University. I’m honored to have worked with Brian Lim, National University of Singapore in Explainable AI; and Fan Hong at Wuhan University in Cultural Tourism AR Visualization.

Please reach out if you think we share ideas :) pan00342@umn.edu
