Current research direction
Visualization Design & Interactive Systems
We design interactive visualizations and interfaces that help people explore, analyze, and communicate data. Through design studies, we work with domain experts to understand their needs and develop systems grounded in practice. We also investigate how the resulting design principles, methods, and tools can be reused and adapted across tasks and domains, and what makes these approaches generalizable.
