About
Research interests: Visualization | AR/VR/MR | Spatial Computing
My research seeks to design, build, and evaluate visualization systems that empower domain scientists to explore, analyze, and interact with scientific data, using methods of human-centered design, image processing, computer graphics, and applied AI. I am also interested in investigating novel visualization and interaction methods across immersive technologies -- from hand-held and wearable devices to large display modalities.
Prior to joining UIC, I was a Principal Research Scientist at the Center for Visual Computing, Stony Brook University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stony Brook University.
