Hi! I am Mi Feng (Mia), a Sr. Software Engineer at Adobe Digital Experience. Previously I was working on data visualization @Twitter. I am interested in building interactive visualization tools to help people explore complex data. I got my PhD in Computer Science from WPI, where I studied interaction techniques for data visualizations on the web, advised by Prof. Lane Harrison. My master study included understanding and supporting people's navigation 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 Art and Science) at Tongji University. During leisure time, I'm into (more) coding and music .
