WELCOME
I am a Research Scientist in information visualization. I study how to design visual representations that help people make sense of data. My research focuses on visual encodings, accessibility, and evaluation methods.
Currently, I am part of the Visualization Design Lab at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute at the University of Utah, where I work with Alexander Lex.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Université Paris-Saclay, where I was a member of the AVIZ team at Inria. I was advised by Tobias Isenberg. I also hold dual master’s degrees in Human-Computer Interaction and Design from Université Paris-Saclay and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and a bachelor’s degree in Architecture from Tongji University.
