Tong Ge

I am a research scientist at Beke. Meanwhile, I am also the reviewer of multiple top conferences and journals including IEEE Vis, TVCG, and etc.. I received my Ph.D. degree from Shandong University, where I work with Prof. Yunhai Wang and Prof. Baoquan Chen in the IDEAS Lab. My research interests are data visualization, application system and machine learning. Specifically, I have been working on programming languages (e.g. Canis) and authoring tools (e.g. CAST) for visualization animation.

I received my bachelor degree from Shandong University in 2015, where I worked in SDU IRC as an undergraduate research assistant advised by Prof. Baoquan Chen.
