This research investigates how to systematically explore and structure the design space of generative AI applications. The work combines theoretical frameworks with practical system building.
Key contributions include:
- GUI for GenAI — Advancing GUI design for generative AI through task creativity and complexity analysis (IUI 2024 DC)
- Diagram as Guardrails — Structuring GenAI-assisted hypotheses exploration with interactive shared representations (C&C 2025, IUI 2025 Demo)
- Intelligent Canvas — Enabling design-like exploratory visual data analysis through rapid prototyping, iteration and curation (Preprint)
