Research Interests
- information visualization
- graph drawing
- computer graphics
I work on information visualization, namely using interactive computer graphics to help people solve problems that require understanding a complex abstract dataset. One of my central research concerns is scalability to large datasets, addressing both algorithmic and perceptual issues.
