About
My research interests are in data visualization and, broadly, human-centered computing. My work specifically explores how visual data interfaces can be used to foster scientific discovery, engagement, and ultimately positive social change. I use a variety of methods, weaving together techniques from human-computer interaction, machine learning, and design thinking to investigate new approaches for visualizing and interacting with data. I am a member of the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL). Prior to joining UIC, I was an associate professor at Indiana University Indianapolis.
