Research Interests:
I work broadly in the area of human-computer interaction with a specific focus on information visualization and visual analytics. In particular, my research helps people and organizations who have large datasets that they seek to analyze and understand. We build interactive visualization systems that allow people to explore the data and examine it under different perspectives.
More recently, my work has focused on visual analytics of datasets that are composed of unstructured, semi-structured, or structured textual documents. Large document collections can be found in areas such as intelligence and law enforcement, academic disciplines, consumer product reviews, investigative reporting, etc. We are inventing visualization techniques and building systems to help people who work in these areas to make sense of large sets of documents.
I would, however, be interested in exploring almost any type of data visualization that helps people with analysis. I bring an HCI perspective to these types of problems and my research typically involves much user and task analysis as well as evaluation.
For more examples of my work and the types of projects I do, please see my research group’s webpage at http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/ii.
