Research Interests
Database visualization, data mining, and human computer interaction

Education
Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University in 2002

Current Research Interests

  • Visual Analytics
  • Information Visualization
  • Human Computer Interaction
  • Data Mining
  • Technology Education
  • Information modeling
  • Projects

  • Information Provenance - This project explores how exploration occurs with data. In particular, the transformations, views, observations, and annotations that occur while users explore data are recorded, and then made available to them for collaboration, or further exploration.
  • Query Structure Visualization - This project develops visualizations of the structure of queries - not the data returned by the queries. Through this work we seek to develop a better understanding of data through the questions that are asked of the data.
  • Mobile Visualization of Data - This project couples the generation of visualizations with mobile devices that enable groups of users to collaborate.  We are developing a framework for group annotation of visualizations using new interaction mechanisms with, in particular, tablet PC's.
  • Undergraduate Capstones - Every Informatics undergraduate student must complete a capstone project.  I am responsible for overseeing many of these projects in the I450/I451 Designing and Developing an Information System course.  Capstone Project Descriptions
