Hi! I am Mi Feng (Mia), a Sr. Software Engineer at Adobe Digital Experience, where I help build marketing platforms leveraging generative AI and data visualization to help marketing professionals gain rapid and quality insights from data. Previously, I worked at Twitter, developing interactive visualization tools to enable intuitive exploration of complex datasets. Broadly speaking, I love building systems that help understand humans. I got my PhD in Computer Science from WPI, where I studied people's interaction behavior with data visualizations on the web, advised by Prof. Lane Harrison. My master's studies focused on navigation techniques in virtual reality systems, advised by Prof. Robert Lindeman. During my graduate study I interned at PNNL and Bosch working on visual analytics and augmented reality. I got my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering (Media Arts and Sciences) at Tongji University. In my free time, I enjoy (occasionally) writing blogposts for fun. |
