About
I am interested in developing techniques that allow for the interactive visual analysis of large-scale data, combining methods from visualization, data management, machine learning, and computer graphics. In particular, I focus on how visual data analytics can help address different problems cities face by integrating data on different resolutions and from different sources.
I have worked closely with domain experts from different fields and the outcome of these collaborations included not only research published in Vis, DB, and AI venues, but also systems that were made available to experts in academia, industry and government agencies. My work has also received extensive coverage from different media outlets, including The New York Times, The Economist, Architectural Digest, Curbed, among others.
Prospective students: send me an email if you are interested in conducting and publishing research in the areas of data science, human-computer interaction and visualization, including:
- Visual analytics, including interactive visual data analysis.
- Data structures and indexing techniques for big data visualization, making use of new advancements in GPUs architectures.
- Urban analytics, harnessing data sets of different types (images, land use information, 3D building geometry, etc.) to address concrete city problems.
- Applied machine learning, including image feature extraction and graph neural networks.
(See my website for more details, including open positions and updated list of publications).
