My name is Hongxuan Chen, and I am an Assistant Professor (Teaching) in the School of Data Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Before joining CUHKSZ, I completed my PhD and BS in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I was co-advised by Dr. Geoffrey Herman and Dr. Jeff Erickson, and my PhD dissertation was titled Investigating Student Difficulties and Evaluating Pedagogical Interventions for Graph Layering in Algorithm Design.
Here is my cv (last updated: June 2026) and Google Scholar profile.
