Liuhuaying Yang joined the Complexity Science Hub’s Visuals team in September 2021 and currently leads the team. She received her Master of Fine Arts’ degree in information and data visualization from Northeastern University in Boston in 2018. Her expertise is in design and front-end development of interactive data visualizations on the interface of academic research and applications. She has worked with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, MIT Senseable City Lab and SMART Future Mobility in Singapore, and SPH Lianhe Zaobao on projects ranging from research visualizations to interactive data journalism.
Liuhuaying’s work is driven by a desire to use data visualization to talk about important social issues. Beside an interest in efficient ways to use data visualization to communicate complex topics, she believes in using an artistic and humanistic approach to engage wide audiences. Her work has received first prize in the 2019 TRB Innovations in Transit Performance Measurement Challenge, first place in the interactive category of the 2023 World Dataviz Prize, two Gold awards in the 2024 Information is Beautiful Awards (one in the Science, Technology & Health category and one as Impressive Individual), and most recently the City of Vienna’s Promotion Prize in STEM for her contributions to making complex science accessible and understandable.
