About
My research centers on advancing the field of Information Visualization and Visual Analytics, with a strong focus on Dynamic Network Analysis. I specialize in creating innovative visual representations and interactive techniques that enable researchers to explore complex, time-varying networks intuitively. My work has significant applications in fields such as Art History, where understanding the evolution of artistic movements and influence is crucial, and Information Diffusion, where it aids in visualizing the spread of ideas and knowledge. These approaches can also benefit other disciplines, such as computational social sciences, digital humanities, and communication studies, by providing tools to uncover patterns and insights within evolving relational data.
