New NSF Grant to Combat Bias in Visual Analytics

I’m excited to announced that I’ve secured a 4 year $1M+ grant from NSF for a new 4-year research initiative. In this project, my team will designing, develop, and evaluate a set of Contextual Visualization Methods for exploratory data analysis which are designed to support the discovery of more robust and generalizable insights from high-dimensional data. More specifically, this project is exploring new techniques for detecting, communicating, and reducing the impact of selection bias and other threats to validity which can arise during interactive visualization-based data analysis.
