About me
I am a PhD student and graduate research assistant at the University of Maryland, College Park. My interests lie primarily in human computer interaction, specifically information visualization and graph drawing (my portfolio).
My advisor is Ben Shneiderman and I am a member of the UMD Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL).
Projects
Visualization and innovation trajectory research for STICK: Science & Technology Innovation Concept Knowledge-base, much of which is published on the STICK Open Community.
Developed Action Science Explorer (formerly iOpener Workbench), a tool that supports rapid understanding of scientific literature. Users can analyze the network of citations between papers, identify key papers and research clusters, automatically summarize them, dig into the metadata and full text of articles to extract context, make annotations, write reviews, and finally export their findings in many document formats.
Advisor for NodeXL - Network Overview, Discovery and Exploration for Excel (formerly .NetMap), an Excel 2007 template and set of class libraries for viewing and analyzing network graphs.
Incorporating real-time Graph Drawing Readability Metrics into SocialAction, a social network analysis tool that integrates visualization and statistics to improve the analytical process.
NetGrok, a tool for real-time visualization of computer network traffic, was recently featured in a cover story on security visualization in Linux Magazine (pdf).
Analyzed the network of collaborations between National Cancer Institute research organizations as part of a HCIL research group with Catherine Plaisant and Ben Shneiderman.
