Hi there👋! I’m Kuangshi Ai, a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where I work with Prof. Chaoli Wang in the ND-VIS Lab. I received my bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from Fudan University in July 2024. During undergrad, I spent a semester as an exchange student at the University of Sydney and conducted summer research with Prof. Toby Li at Notre Dame.
My research interests lie at the intersection of scientific visualization, human-computer interaction, and natural language processing. Currently, I focus on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to make the complex, expert-oriented process of scientific visualization more intuitive and accessible to broader audiences. I’m also exploring the integration of LLMs with 3D/4D data, including general vision-language models for volumetric and spatial understanding.
If you’re interested in my work or would like to collaborate, feel free to reach out at kai[at]nd[dot]edu.
