Hi, welcome to my personal page!
I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. I am advised by Professor Alvin Cheung. I am a part of EPIC Data Lab and Sky Lab (formerly RISE Lab). I am interested in Programming Tools and Data Visualization.
I graduated with Combined Bachelor's/Master's program in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Washington in 2021. I worked in the UW Interactive Data Lab as a research assistant, mentored by Professor Jeffrey Heer. I worked in DocuSign and OctoML as a software engineering intern. Aside from academic works, I was a volunteered officer of Thai Students Association, coordinating social events and meetups for Thai students in the University of Washington.
Publications
Fast and Flexible Overlap Detection for Chart Labeling with Occupancy Bitmap
Developed an algorithm to layout labels in visualization. The algorithm is generalizable to different types of visualization and optimized for the responsiveness of interactive visualizations.
Legible Label Layout for Data Visualization, Algorithm and Integration into Vega-Lite
An integration of an algorithm to layout labels in visualization into Vega-Lite.
Community Cellular Networks Coverage Visualizer
The design of visaulizations to help understand the coverage of Community Cellular Networks.
Projects and Contributions
Vega-Lite (contribution)
A high-level grammar of interactive graphics, providing an easy-to-use toolkit for creating visualizations.
Vega-Label
A fast labeling algorithm to layout labels annotating data points in charts. Now is a part of Vega.
Arquero-SQL
In progress: SQL back-end support for Arquero queries.
1-Handed Braille Keyboard
An Android keyboard for typing Braille with haptic-feedback simulating raised dots.
Pleiades
A tool with GUI for laying out multiple views of Vega-Lite charts, supporting layer, concat, repeat, and facet.
Pokemon Go Forecast
A web application that predicts weather in Pokemon Go for players to maximize game rewards.
Work Experience
-
Graduate Student Researcher
Sky Lab @ UC BerkeleyContirbuting to Apperception, a query language and a database management system for geo-spatial video data. I am working on designing the programming interface of Apperception DSL. I am also working on video query optimization, using geo-spatial metadata to reduce executions of expensive ML operations.
