NBA GameViz
interactively visualizing NBA game information and advanced statistics to support novel
narrative construction and insight communication.
I study, design, and build interactive visualizations
I'm with Information Interfaces Research Group
at Georgia Tech, advised by
Dr. John
Stasko. My research interests lie in information visualization,
data-driven journalism, sports analytics, and HCI. Specifically, I am interested in bringing insights to
the masses
through reaching, engaging, and enlightening more people with novel interactive visualization and
data-driven storytelling. I have studied how to support basketball analytics and data-driven sports
journalism through interactive visualization.
My current research pivots towards understanding what role visualization can play in countering misinformation in data narratives and developing tools that leverage visualization and language models to assist both journalists and news audiences.
I was a journalist before I started my PhD.
