Research Interests:
I specialize in interactive visualization and visual analysis of large and complex data. In addition, I maintain an active research agenda in 3D urban modeling and spatial awareness.
Currently, I’m investigating human + computing in visual analytics where I look to identify the roles of human interactions and automated analysis techniques. This area of research has led me to think more about the nature of interaction (in analytical tasks), and how to interpret the interaction in a machine-readable way. On the other hand, I am also looking at incorporating data mining and machine learning methods into the analysis loop, while investigating how to combine the two (human computing and computer computing).
More generally, I am interested in pushing the boundary of using automated methods in creating visual interfaces and quantifying the semantics behind the visual representations that the user would interact with. Much of this work relies on developing metrics in order to evaluate the automated methods, which is an open challenge in the visualization world, and is a topic that I’d like to investigate further.
