Rethinking how we visualize, analyze, and learn from complex networks.
[about.md]
INFO
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at TU Wien in the Visual Analytics group, where I study how people interact with and make sense of complex networked data. My research combines visualization and computational analysis to develop expressive and collaborative ways of exploring temporal, spatial, and relational structures.
