HI! I AM BOYU XU.
“
a final-year PhD student in the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University, the Netherlands, supervised by Prof. Lynda Hardman and Dr. Wolfgang Hürst.
My research focuses on novel visualisations of neuroscience topics, enabling neurologists to explore literature using Augmented Reality (AR). Researchers can explore the connections between brain regions and related diseases from more than 400,000 publications in PubMed.
DatAR project: https://www.projects.science.uu.nl/ics-datar/
I have experience in graphic design, (multimedia) game design, and developing commercial AR applications. I am also interested in collaborating with visual artists and GenAI researchers to explore how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) can inspire the creative process in visual art and design
