I plan to graduate by the summer of 2008, and I am looking for an academic position or research opportunity.

Research

My advisor is Prof. Ben Shneiderman, and I am a member of HCIL. My research is in the Information Visualization area of the Human-Computer Interaction field. My current research involves Network Visualization. I developed a tool called NVSS (see NVSS project page) to visualize netwoks (citation networks, food webs, social networks, etc.) using semantic substrates.

In my PhD program, I worked on the following information visualization tools:

Here is a list of my publications.

Teaching

As a graduate instructor, I taught a junior level Computer Science class (CMSC 330: Organization of Programming Languages) during the summer of 2002. In addition, I was a teaching assistant for CMSC 330 for three semesters and for CMSC 421 (Intro. to Artificial Intelligence) for one semester.

I was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award for Graduate Teaching Assistants in 2003.
