I am here to talk about the science behind visualization. I am Prof. Tamara Munzner from the University of British Columbia. Ask Me Anything!

Hello world! Tamara Munzner here.

I've been doing computer-based visualization for almost 25 years, starting as technical staff at the NSF-funded Geometry Center, continuing as a grad student in the Stanford graphics group with Pat Hanrahan, and then as a professor at UBC since 2002. I have worked in a broad range of application domains including genomics, evolutionary biology, fisheries management, energy and sustainability, geometric topology, large-scale system administration, web log analysis, computer networking, computational linguistics, data mining, and journalism. Yet more details on my web site in general or my bio page in particular.


Let's talk about the science behind visualization!

I'm particularly excited to talk about the ideas covered my book, Visualization Analysis and Design. Since it's done at long last.

Or any of the visualization research papers, videos, or software at on my lab web site.

Or anything about the visual representation of data, broadly construed.

And hey, it's an AMA, so anything else is fair game too.

Including books, especially science fiction and fantasy, since reading too much is a vice of mine. As you can see from my reading lists: books read in reverse chronological order and books read ordered by author, with commentary.
