I investigate human factors in the visual exploration, analysis, and communication of data, with a particular focus on the health and life science domains. My research examines the role of interaction, aesthetics, and storytelling in visualization, and how these elements affect (for better or for worse) perception, behavior, and decision-making for various audience and user groups.
