Teaching & research interests

• My Cognitive Science research seeks to understand human reasoning in information-rich responsive environments.
• My design research guides development of  interactive visualization systems that support individual and distributed cognitive processes in specific applications for the benefit of society.
  
• My teaching focuses on integration of perceptual, cognitive, and social science knowledge in design
• My community service supports science policy at NSERC, human performance at Defence R&D Canada, entrepreneurship at EUREKA Eurostars, and integrated cognitive and information system design in IEEE Computer Society VGTC.
  

My research takes a cognitive science approach to the design and evaluation of information systems that support human understanding and decision-making. These systems support innovation in personalized health, aircraft safety analysis, space object detection and classification, and emergency management.  I am a Fellow of the Psychonomics Society, and serve on the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Defence R&D Canada's Human Systems Performance Network of Expertise, EUREKA Eurostars Expert Panel, the IEEE VAST Steering and VIS Executive Committees. I will co-Chair VIS 2019 in Vancouver.

In addition to my ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV roles I am an Affiliate Professor in Computer Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Associate Director for the Media And Graphics Interdisciplinary Centre (MAGIC).
