My research interests lie in the areas of "information visualization" and user interfaces. Information visualization refers to the design of visual elements for representing abstract information such as financial data (e.g. stock prices, p/e ratio), project management data (e.g. activity start-time, cost), or real-estate data (e.g. house-price, date-sold, number-of-rooms). Quite a few terms in there, but it basically means designing graphics such as bar-charts, tables, maps, etc for representing your everyday data.

data visualization

• Visualization and Intelligent Interfaces Group - To develop tools that empower people to understand, explore, harness, and create information.

• Selective Dynamic Manipulation - A paradigm for interacting with visualizations that is based on the notion of physicalization, which uses the metaphor of creating ""physical"" objects to represent abstract data objects
• Visage - Prototype software environment for exploring and visualizing large amounts of diverse information
