My advisor is Prof. Xiaolong (Luke) Zhang (full CV). From academic perspective, he is a typical information science people. He has studied and worked in three different iSchools. He holds a Ph.D degree in Information Science with a specialization in HCI from University of Michigan. He had been an assistant professor in School of Information Recourses & Library Science at The University of Arizona for 2 years. Now he is working here in IST.
Xiaolong's research interest is mostly on human-computer interaction specifically visualization. His research has two main domains: knowledge visualization and user interaction in Multiscale virtual environments. Thus his publications appear relatively on journals/conferences related to these fields. He has papers in international journals of Human Computer Studies and Virtual Reality. For conferences, I believe the most two he attends are ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) and ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST).
At teaching aspect, Xiaolong's teaching experience dates back to his graduate student time. He was the graduate instructor for several courses in SI, UMich, such as User Interface Design, and Search and Retrieval. During the working period when he was in U of Arizona, he taught courses like Introduction to Information Technologies, and Collaborative Information Retrieval. At IST, Penn State, he has taught three different courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. He used to teach IST 210: Organization of Data. Currently in this semester, he is teaching IST 220: Networking and Telecommunications (in which I am the TA) and IST 526: Information Visualization (which I am taking).
