I am an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo. I direct the WatVis (Waterloo Visualization) research group. I am affiliated with the WaterlooHCI lab. I am also a member of the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute (Waterloo.ai) and the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics (WISA). I received my Ph.D from the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, where I was affiliated with the Dynamic Graphic Project (DGP) lab.
My research focuses on the areas of Information Visualization (InfoVis), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Visual Analytics, and Data Science. I develop novel interactive systems and visual representations that promote the interplay between humans, machines, and data. My research aims to boost the efficiency of human-data interaction with exploratory and explanatory interfaces that tightly integrate the flexibility and creativity of users with the scalability of algorithms and machine learning.
I am always seeking highly-motivated and hard-working PostDoc, Ph.D., M.Math., and undergraduate students to work with my team on exciting research projects. Please read the Prospective page before contacting me; otherwise, you will unlikely get a response.
