Research Interests
Topics: Database visualization, data mining, and human-computer interaction My research focuses on the development of new database access and data mining techniques in support of data visualization activities. I am particularly interested in exploring ways in which visualizations can be manipulated in the same fashion as the data that the visualizations are generated from. Creating such techniques will enhance a user’s ability to explore the visual space, thereby improving the knowledge discovery process. This work requires a detailed examination of mapping constructs from data to visualization.
Education
- Ph.D. in computer science from Indiana University in 2002
- B.S. in computer science from Loyola University of Chicago in 1983
