Biography
My R&D interests lie in data visualization and information design. The quantity and complexity of data produced in our lives and all types of industrial activities are phenomenal. Presenting, understanding, analyzing, decision making are some of the of goals one can seek to achieve with data. A visualization can be a powerful user-centred tool in that perspective, for a lot of data-based applications and contexts. However, if a visualization is poorly designed, the user can misinterpret the data and be misled in his conclusions, hence decisions.
