Research

I am a Ph.D. student of Computer Science at UNC Charlotte and a member of the Data Visualization Group(DVG) at the Charlotte Visualization Center.

My research focuses on understanding knowledge-assisted visualization and constructing a mixed-initialtive visualization environment. My interests also extends to visualizing geo-spatial, temporal information. Currently, my primary projects involve augmenting visualization with knowledge sources.

My previous work includes visualizing document activities for knowledge workes in an enterprise environment (with Eric A. Bier (PARC)); providing cohesive visual analytics system for bridge managements (with USDOT); supporting visual analysis of the Global Terrorism Database (collaboration with START center); and with Danyel Fisher (Microsoft Research) on visualizing heterogeneous information to centralize and analyze network operations, etc..

Prior to my work in Visual Analytics, I had worked on 3D volumetric visualization for EPA on analyzing the temporal development of air pollution.
