Hi, I'm Zhongzheng Xu 👋

I love

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at University of Maryland, College Park under the guidance of Dr. Fumeng Yang.

Before I joined UMD, I received my Master's degree in Computer Science at Brown University.

At Brown, I worked under Dr. Jeff Huang at Brown HCI Lab. We are exploring the effect of visualizations on people's self-reflection over their personal text data.

I also worked with Dr. Emily Wall at Emory University, where we studied visual and tactile perception and explored how large language models perform visual analytic tasks.

To pronounce my name, think of it like "John Jane Shoe". In my free time, I like being a barista and photographer.
