Panel 3: The Tide of the Times in Visualization Research: Adherence and Inheritance

Information

Time: July 22, 2025 - Morning, 9:40 - 11:00

Location: Wenlan Hall, 2F

Introduction

This panel will gather academic mentors with over 10 years of experience in the field of visualization research to jointly review the evolution of visualization research's positioning amidst multiple technological waves such as big data, artificial intelligence, and large models. The discussion will focus on three core questions: How does visualization research embrace innovation while maintaining its disciplinary essence during each technological transformation? What core values and methodologies should be upheld? As mentors for master's and doctoral students, what do they hope to pass on to the next generation of researchers? Through the sharing of personal experiences by the guests, the panel aims to provide directional insights for the future development of visualization research.
