Peter Hongyu Wang 👋

I am a PhD trainee at the Scalable Computing Group, Newcastle University, supervised by Dr Xinhuan Shu. My research focuses on building interactive programming learning platforms to enhance computing education in the era of artificial intelligence.

Previously, I earned my bachelor degree from the University of Sheffield and master from Queen Mary University of London. I also studied at the China Foreign Affairs University for one year.

I'm a coffee nerd with a passion for brewing. I also enjoy cycling🚴 and badminton🏸. Here, I'll share my PhD research journey and insights about coffee :)

Selected Projects

Data Structures Visualization Tool

Data Structures and Algorithms Visualization Teaching Tool

An interactive visualization tool for data structures and algorithms aimed at beginners, enhancing teaching effectiveness and student comprehension through customizable graphics and dynamic execution displays.

Dynamic and Static Analysis-Driven Data Structures Visualization System

Dynamic and Static Analysis-Driven Algorithms Visualization

An algorithm learning system for beginners. It uses the MVC pattern, the JavaFX framework, and the Javaparser library to display changing data structures and code, achieving real-time visualization. The project is inspired by dynamic and static analysis techniques used in software reverse engineering.
