Research Focus

My lab works at the intersection of Visualization, Human–AI Interaction, and Biomedical Informatics. We focus on making real-world impact by designing, evaluating, and deploying interactive data systems for end users such as clinicians, patients, biologists, and software engineers. Key research areas include:

• Human–AI Interaction and Visualization for Healthcare
• Human–AI Interaction and Visualization for Biomedical Science
• Human–AI Interaction and Visualization for Biomedical Education
• Human–AI Interaction and Visualization Toolkits and Infrastructure
