About me
I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the Aviz team of INRIA Saclay (France), where I joined the CSDL Project, which in part tries to bring together the fields of Interactive Evolutionary Computation and Visual Analytics. Previously, I was a member of REACTIVITY, a group-awarenss project funded by Microsoft Research INRIA Joint Center.
Before moving to France, I was at the University of Leeds (UK) working under the VISTA project, to visualize uncertainty and integrated information on underground assets. I obtained my PhD from the University of Kent (UK) under the supervision of Jonathan Roberts and Peter Rodgers, where I investigated aspects of coupling of multiple views in information visualization.
Research Interests
Information visualization, uncertainty visualization, visual analytics.
