Hey! I'm Litao Yan, a first-year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Andrew Head at UPenn. My primary interests lie in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), programming languages, software engineering, and interactive data visualization. I am super excited about designing interactive user interfaces for data-driven decision-making.

I am also working with Prof. Elena Glassman (Harvard), Prof. Tianyi Zhang (Purdue), Prof. Björn Hartmann (UC Berkeley), and Prof. Miryung Kim (UCLA) on the code demography project sponsored by the NSF grant.

I received my M.Eng. in CSE from Harvard University. I also worked as a research assistant with Prof. Glassman.
