Cross-domain collaboration
Collaborative Research Across Domains
We explore how visualization and interactive computing can help people address problems in different domains. Working with domain experts grounds our research in real tasks, data, and decisions, while revealing ideas that can transfer across contexts. Our collaborative work spans journalism, sports analytics, and education, and we are open to other domains.
