NBA GameViz
interactively visualizing NBA game information and advanced statistics to support novel
narrative construction and insight communication.
I'm with Information Interfaces Research Group at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. John Stasko. My research spans information visualization, data science, human-computer interaction, and data journalism, focusing on enhancing the effectiveness, engagement, and trustworthiness of data analysis, communication, and consumption. I aim to design and develop techniques that empower data-driven content creators to produce insightful, engaging, and accurate data narratives efficiently, while also protecting their audiences from misinformation embedded within data artifacts.
