Ehsan Jahangirzadeh Soure

I’m a master's student at the Computer Science department of the University of Waterloo supervised by Prof. Jian Zhao. Prior to that, I did my bachelor's in ECE at the University of Tehran with a minor in Computer Engineering. While studying for my bachelor's I worked part-time as a Lead React Developer at Hamravesh co. I love designing and developing different tools and interactive visualizations. On my researcher side, my research interest is on HCI and Information Visualization. Also, as a developer, I am getting more interested every day in 3D on the web, so three.js is like my new fun library to work with.
