<h2>About</h2>
<p>
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence at Arizona State University, which is located in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. I lead the Sonoran Visualization Laboratory (SVL @ ASU). I am also an affiliate faculty with ASU's Global Security Initiative. I received my Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis in 2018.
</p>
<p>
My research spans the areas of data visualization, human-computer interaction, augmented and virtual reality, and data science. Broadly, my lab develops novel algorithms, models, techniques, and interfaces that help humans work with and make sense of data. We regularly work with complex and real-world data, and develop advanced interactive visual analytics and data pipelines, including modeling and interpreting machine learning and artificial intelligence, and storytelling with data. See the <a href="/research/" class="link-danger">Research</a> page for more details, and the <a href="/research/" class="link-danger">Publications</a> page for our group's published papers.
