Staff Profile

I am a Professor of Visualisation/Data Science at Newcastle University. My area of research helps visualisation and visual analytics systems scale to the age of data science. From this perspective, I investigate important research problems in data science and AI, graph drawing, social and complex network analysis, and HCI often in interdisciplinary settings. I investigate all parts of the data-to-human pipeline from the visualisation algorithms to display abstract data to the perceptual evaluation of such interfaces with humans, primarily focusing on visual analytics for machine learning and network visualisation.
