Research Focus

My lab will work at the intersection of Data Visualization, Human–AI Interaction, and Biomedical/Health Informatics. Specifically, we will focus on making real-world impact by designing, evaluating, and deploying interactive data systems that address actual problems of target users (e.g., clinicians, computational biologists, software engineer, patients). Please find my latest research projects in the Publications page.
