4. About Myself University of California, San Diego, 2007-Present  C. Ph. in Computer Science Engineering (2009)

5. Visual Analytics  “Science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces.” (Thomas:2005)  Synergy between human and machine analysis  Synthesize information to detect important features in massive datasets  “Detect the expected and discover the unexpected” (Thomas:2005) Presenting data in a way such that the human mind is able to efficiently process

10. Research Objective Build a human centric approach for visual analytics of large scale multi-dimensional data sets Develop visceral interfaces for interacting with these data sets in new and intuitive ways Promote collaborative workspaces for a synergistic research environment Hypothesis  By combining large scale data visualization with natural interfaces, researchers will be able to expedite scientific analysis.
